About this car

The XK150 was the last of Jaguar's XK line before the E-Type arrived, and the S specification is the rarest of them. It added a more powerful straight-six with triple SU carburettors and disc brakes at all four corners. The dealer puts total XK150 S production at fewer than 900.

This drophead coupe is a right-hand-drive manual car with overdrive. The page describes it as matching-numbers, in its original colour and trim specification of green with a green interior. It is said to have been delivered new to Rossleigh in Edinburgh and to have been fully restored.

It shows 82,200 miles. The price is on application. The page quotes 3,800 cc, which suits the 3.8-litre engine, although the text elsewhere refers to a 3.4.
