JAGUAR XK 150 3. 4 190 bhp 1959
fully restored +++
The Jaguar XK 150, a flagship of British motor heritage, has distinguished itself not only by its design and luxury but also by its remarkable competition performance. Although the XK 150 itself was not entered directly into the 24 Hours of Le Mans as a model, it is the rightful heir to the XK lineage that left its mark on the history of this iconic endurance race.
Between 1951 and 1957, Jaguar dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans with XK family models, notably the XK 120 C-Type and D-Type, equipped with state-of-the-art technologies for the era, such as Dunlop disc brakes. These successes helped forge Jaguar’s legend and heavily influenced the technical development of the XK 140 and XK 150. Thus, the XK 150 benefits from the improvements learned from racing, offering a 6‑cylinder inline engine of 3. 4 or 3. 8 litres with optimised tuning, precise handling and high performance — with power outputs of up to 265 bhp on the XK 150 S version.
On track, these cars showed a fighting spirit, capable of top speeds exceeding 210 km/ h, and delivering notable acceleration for the period, with a 0-100 km/ h time of around 7 seconds, figures that reflect Jaguar’s know‑how in motorsport. This direct link to competition explains the XK 150’s reputation as a true GT — powerful, agile and reliable, capable of endurance races as well as prestigious historic rallies today.
Thus, purchasing a Jaguar XK 150 means owning a car inheriting a victorious lineage, carrying in its soul the performance of a Jaguar forged on the world’s most demanding circuits, such as the mythical Le Mans.
