The Jaguar XK150 was manufactured between 1957 and 1961 and
despite 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. 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. Either wire wheels or disc wheels could be
specified and the suspension and chassis were very similar to that
on the XK140. These were high performance. well appointed sports
touring cars and could cope with long distances with alacrity.

This eye-catching Jaguar XK150 SE Coupé has benefitted from
substantial time and financial investment recently. Purely for
aesthetic reasons. the bumpers have been removed and the exhaust
system modified to come out through the rear wings. resulting in a
familiar 'throaty' note being emitted from the exhaust. Coupled
with lowering the suspension. colour coded wire wheels. aluminium
intakes and period painted number plate. this XK150 both looks and
sounds fabulous. Fitted with a Borg Warner automatic gearbox. this
lefthand drive Jaguar also benefits from having disc brakes all
round. Supplied with a V5 registration document and the original
bumpers. this 'sporty' example of an iconic sportscar offers the
flexibility of safe. comfortable touring with something more
exciting for the more enthusiastic driver.
