A little bit of history on these special cars goes like this: The Jaguar XK150 was introduced in May 1957 in Fixed Head Coupe & Drop Head Coupe form, eplacing the XK-140 range. The Roadster version came along in March 1958. All cars used the XK-140 chassis but this time the bodywork was of a much more modern appearance & for the first time featured a one piece curved windscreen. Inside the vehicle the walnut veneer on the dashboard & door cappings had been replaced with a padded leather trim. Mechanically one of the main changes to the XK-150 were the Dunlop disc brakes which were used both front & rear, s opposed to drum brakes which were fitted to the XK-140. The engine however was from the 140, nd as before was available in standard tune, r in a higher performance version on the Special Equipment models. The Standard model had the 190 hp of the earlier car but this time for the "SE" or S as it became known, ower was up to a heady 250 hp. This was achieved mainly by a new design of cylinder head (which became known as the straight port cylinder head) & triple S.U. carburetors. Overdrive, hich had been an option, lso became standard fitment in 1958. In 1959 a 3.8 Liter engine became available with 220 hp in standard form and 265 hp in the "S" versions. In 1960, aguar upgraded their XK engine to have a displacement of 3781 cc. This was achieved by increasing the bore & offered 220 hp over the standard 190 hp 3.4 Liter. Like the previous model, n optional Special Equipment Model was available, hich used the B-Type cylinder head & twin SU HD6 carburetors. Other refinements included wire wheels, ual exhaust, amp; windscreen washers. Production of all models ended in October 1960.
