Although bearing a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically revised. A one-piece windscreen replaced the split screen, and the wing line no longer dropped so deeply at the doors. The widened bonnet opened down to the wings, and on the Roadster the bulkhead was moved back 4 inches to make the bonnet longer. The car was available at various times in Red, Pearl Grey, White, Indigo Blue, Claret, Cotswold Blue, Black, Mist Grey, Sherwood Green, Carmen Red, British Racing Green, Cornish Grey, and Imperial Maroon. The XK150 had a one-piece windshield and a wider grille, and by 1959 its 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine was pumping out 230 horsepower. It is virtually identical in all specifications to the XK-E powerplant. 150-model Jaguars offered the poshest interiors of any XK to date, with the lavish use of leather throughout. These S-Series cars can be identified by the small 'S' on the forward edge of the doors, just behind the windshield pillar. The S has a top speed of more than 130 mph, overdrive is standard on the 4-speed manual gearbox, and Dunlop servo-assisted disc brakes are also part of the standard equipment. The 150S offers the owner/driver the combination of sparkling performance and handling blended with a level of comfort and luxury rarely encountered in thoroughbred sports cars of this period. The XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by one trimmed in leather. On the early Drophead Coupés, the aluminum center dash panel, which was discontinued after June 1958, had an X pattern engraving similar to the early 3.8 E-type. Thinner doors gave more interior space. On the front parking lights, which were located atop the wings (fenders), a little red light reminded the driver the lights were on. The standard engine, the same as fitted to the XK140, was the 3.4 liter DOHC Jaguar straight-6 rated at 180 SAE bhp at 5750 rpm but most cars were fitted with the SE engine whose modified cylinder head and larger exhaust valves boosted the power to 210 SAE bhp at 5500 rpm. Twin 1.75-inch SU HD6 carburettors were fitted. While the first XK150 were slower than their predecessors, the deficit was corrected in the spring of 1958 with a 3.4-liter "S" engine with three 2-inch SU HD8 carburettors and a straight-ported cylinder to give a claimed 250 SAE bhp. For 1960, Jaguar bored the 3.4 litre engine to 3.8 liters, rating this option at 220 hp in standard tune or 265 hp in "S" form. A 3.8 liter 150S could top 135 mph and go from 0–60 mph in around 7.0 seconds, thus restoring whatever verve the XK had been missing. Fuel economy was 18mpg. Four-wheel Dunlop 12 in disc brakes appeared for the first time although it was theoretically possible to order a car with drums. Either wire wheels or disc wheels could be specified. Suspension and chassis were very similar to the XK140. Steering was by rack and pinion; power steering was not offered. Production ended in October 1960, and totaled 2265 Roadsters, 4445 Fixed Head Coupes and 2672 Drophead Coupes. Presented for auction is an extremely rare Jaguar XK 150 Drophead coupe (DHC) built in 1958 with steel wheels which is a unique option that was mainly mostly used for racing and spats and spats of fender skirts covering the rear wheels. It is thought to be one of only eight built in 1958. The car looks like a real sports saloon and is a documented three owner car.
