The Jaguar XK150 represents the ultimate evolution of the celebrated XK lineage, combining the performance of the XK six-cylinder with a level of comfort and refinement superior to its predecessors. More civilised than the XK120 and XK140, it has become a favoured choice for historic rallies, long-distance touring and classic car events.
This 1960 example presents itself in an attractive red combination with black leather interior. It is equipped with the 3.4-litre XK engine paired with the Moss four-speed manual gearbox, an iconic configuration for Jaguars of this era. The seller also indicates that the car retains its matching numbers.
According to the information provided, this XK150 has benefited from nearly €6,000 of work in 2025, carried out in preparation for a future MOT. The corresponding invoices are included in the vehicle's file.
The seller describes a pleasant car to drive, with a smooth and torquey engine, particularly suited to long journeys. With its timeless styling, spacious cabin and iconic mechanics, this XK150 represents an attractive proposition for classic Jaguar enthusiasts. image.png1.39 MB
