1957 Jaguar XK150 FHC - Fabulous driver!

Check out our website for more information on this car along with Details and Pictures of the other vehicles in our showroom. www.classicand...
Unloaded from our transporter this morning is this rather special Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupe. The XK150 was the last in the line of Jaguar Sports cars built on a separate chassis. The legendary six cylinder twin-cam 3.4 litre engine was first revealed in the sensational XK120 of 1948. To many, the original Moss gearbox with it's non-synchro first gear, often exhibiting weak synchros on the rest is a bit of an anachronism. Later all Synchro gearboxes, mated to the XK engines from the mid 1960s were much more refined.
This car benefits from an all-synchro gearbox with overdrive on top gear. This and the precise rack and pinion steering collectively transform the drive of this iconic sports car.
Having driven dozens of XKs, the youngest of which are now 60 yeas=rs old, they all vary. This would rank in the top two or three I've driven during my 40 years of selling Jaguar cars. This one's a peach which will be a pleasure to own and drive.

Beautiful in all the right places ! A true British classic. But to be honest, I love all things jaguar, So maybe its a biased opinion, But I make no apology for that !

I am sure many people would say that the XK 120 was the purest of the pre-E-type Jaguar sports cars. For me I like the XK 150 better than either the 120 or 140, and I never liked the E-type. This is a lovely car to feast the eyes and ears on! Best wishes from George

A thing of beauty is a JOY FOREVER

Well said! Spoken like Roger Scruton

27 degrees? Hot? Try our 40+ degree summers here, and my 1966 Jaguar doesn't have AC. (The XK8 does...) That is a very nice automobile. Thank you for the ride.

[@Classicandsportscar1]

40 degrees with no AC! You must really love your Jaguar. Looking now, I can see why - 1966 S-Type 3.8 in Old English white. Beautiful thing. Thank you for watching and commenting.

I thought the XK 150’s had the double light configuration at the rear!?

[@bertiewooster3326]

Still a big lump to drive on UK B roads.

[@Classicandsportscar1]

Yet cars are generally much bigger today

Better than sex!

[@gf4353]

Sex doesn't last Jaguars do

[@Classicandsportscar1]

That's a thought!
