This 1960 Jaguar XK150 Fixed-Head Coupe is a strong running, beautifully restored English import that has been cared for by the same 2 owners for over 35 years. With its origins dating back to the late 1920s, the Jaguar name first came about in the fall of 1935 and the company, SS Cars Ltd. ended up changing its name to Jaguar Cars Ltd. in the years following World War II. In the fall of 1948, at the Earl's Court Motor Show, Jaguar debuted the first iteration of its XK line with the XK120. As its name suggests, the XK120 was said to have a top speed of 120 miles per hour which would make it the fastest production car in the world at that time. In October of 1954, Jaguar replaced the XK120 with the XK140 further iterating on the sports car's engineering and style. Then in the middle of 1957, Jaguar released its final iteration of its XK-series, the XK150. The new XK150 had a brand new look with a redesigned exterior silhouette along with additional performance upgrades and a roomier and more luxurious interior. 1960 marked the final full year of production for the XK series since production of the XK150 was halted in the middle of 1961 when the XK-E (E-Type) Jaguars made their debuts. In total, only 4,101 XK150 fixed-head coupes were produced by Jaguar in the span of 1957-1960, which makes this British import a pretty rare piece of automotive history. This particular XK150 comes to us after its previous two stewards owned and cared for this car for over a combined 35 years. Found under the bonnet on this '60 XK150 is a numbers matching 3,442 c.c. Twin Overhead Cam Inline 6 cylinder engine paired with a set of Twin S.U. sidedraft carburetters that together were said to create 210 horsepower from the factory.
