Although having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140. the
XK150 was radically modernised. A one piece windscreen replaced the
split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the
doors. The bonnet was widened. opened down to the wings. and on the
roadster the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the bonnet
longer. In the interior. the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced
by a leather trimmed unit. On the early examples an aluminium
centre dash panel with an X pattern engraving was fitted which
looked similar to the early 3. 8 litre E-type. It was discontinued
after June 1958 and thinner doors gave more interior space. The
standard engine. the same as fitted to the XK140. was the 3. 4 litre
DOHC Jaguar straight-six rated at 180bhp at 5750rpm but most cars
were fitted with the SE engine that had a modified cylinder head
with larger exhaust valves rated at 210bhp at 5500rpm. Twin
1. 75-inch SU HD6 carburettors were fitted. Four-wheel Dunlop 12
inch disc brakes appeared for the first time although it was
theoretically possible to order a car with drums. Either wire
wheels or steel wheels could be specified and the suspension and
chassis were very similar to that on the XK140.

This lefthand drive fixedhead coupé XK150 SE was originally
supplied to Mr. R. J. Wilson of Hamilton. Ontario. A restoration
project has been carried out in recent years and the car presents
in exceedingly good order throughout. The maroon coachwork is
complemented by tan leather trim and beige carpets. Power from the
3400cc engine is delivered via a manual gearbox and overdrive unit. br/>resulting in this well appointed car being a delight to drive and
coping with long distances with alacrity. Supplied with a V5
registration document and a Jaguar Heritage certificate. this
Jaguar XK150 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a sound
example of a highly collectable Jaguar.
