Buyer’s notes

About the Jaguar XK150

The XK150 replaced the XK140 in 1957, with a wider body, a one-piece windscreen and the 3.4-litre XK six. It was built as a fixed-head coupé, drophead coupé and roadster, about 9,400 in all, and from October 1959 a 3.8-litre engine was offered, with 265 bhp in S form.

What moves the price

  • Engine: the 3.8-litre S cars were built in small numbers.
  • Body condition: rust repair and panel replacement are costly, even where the mechanicals are sound.
  • The quality of earlier body repairs, since poor ones rust early.

Before you buy, check

  • The front wings around the headlamps and sidelights, the lower panels and the inner and outer rear panels.
  • An independent inspection of the chassis frame for rust.
  • Oil leaks, and oil pressure of at least 40 psi at 2,000 rpm when warm.
