About this car

The XK150 'S' is the quick one of the family: the 3.4-litre engine in 'S' specification is quoted at 250 bhp, enough for 60mph in just over seven seconds and a top speed beyond 135mph. This is a right-hand-drive fixed head coupe, registered in 1959 and finished in Cotswold Blue with a blue leather interior.

The car spent its early life in the USA before returning to the UK in 1995. It then received a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration, with the engine and gearbox removed and the body stripped for a bare-metal respray. The engine, gearbox and suspension were rebuilt, and the brakes were overhauled. The car was also rewired and re-trimmed inside, and it has fitted luggage.

It comes with a current V5 registration document and a history file containing invoices and related paperwork. Mileage is not stated.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Jaguar's published engine figures (3442cc straight-six, 250 bhp gross/SAE, triple SU HD8 carbs). The performance figures usually quoted for this car come from period magazine road tests rather than the factory, and I'm not confident of an official kerb weight, so those are left blank.).

Engine: 3,442 cc, 6 cylinders
