The XK150 was different in 1958 from the original XK line which started ten years earlier. As such, it can actually be considered a separate model. The XK140 could no longer be built partly due to a large fire in February 1957 at Jaguar's production factories.

The XK150 was introduced in May 1958 after the factory was rebuilt. The XK150 had a clearly evolved line and was more in keeping with the increased streamlining of cars of that time. Also for people who do not fit well in the XK120 or 140, the 150 offered a solution because the interior is a lot more spacious compared to its predecessors.

The production line of the XK had been a very successful one until now, so there was no reason to start a completely new concept. For example, little was changed to the technology, the versions remained the same namely the Open Two Seater (OTS), the Drop Head Coupé (DHC) and the Fixed Head Coupé (FHC).

The Jaguar comes with a folder with various documents. This includes the original American title which is a nice addition to its history. The original manual is also included. The matching numbers 6-cylinder engine runs and sounds great!

The car comes from warm Florida (USA). The current Belgian owner had various technical improvements / modifications carried out in recent years. The brakes, exhaust, shock absorbers, steering rod and the automatic cooling fan were replaced.

Three-point belts with headrests were also fitted.

The paintwork and body are in great condition. The sills, mudguards, doors, bonnet, boot lid and grille have a good fit.
