Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

3.4L/250hp, 5-speed (original 4-speed included), added power steering, modern radiator, alternator, electronic ignition, chrome wire wheels, Michelin X tires, woodrim steering wheel, Lucas driving lights, aftermarket stereo, bucket seats.

Condition

Originally a US market car. Older paint and chrome with light scratching on both. Uneven door gaps. Some dirt and grime underneath. Very good interior other than some wear on the floor mats. A relatively rare LHD "S" model in driver quality condition with numerous bits that are technically incorrect but make the car more usable.

Market commentary

XK Jags are making something of a comeback much to the surprise of the "shifting demographics" pundits who want to carry on about aging collectors. Some of that is due to cars like this which have been subtly modified to meet the expectations of a new generation who appreciate the style of the old cars but want modern performance, safety and functionality. This XK 150S has all of that, and is the desirable S version with three carbs to start. It was sold before the modifications by Coys at London in 2003 with Euros 53,000 spent on it in the past dozen years. The upgrades are said to be reversible, but why bother? They're basically free at this reasonable price.
