XK 150 3.4-Litre Fixed Head Coupé

Jaguar already had a long history when the XK 120 was launched in 1948 and became the star of the London Motor Show. The XK series, however, was more successful than any Jaguar car before it and established the company as the benchmark in the sports car market.

In 1957, Jaguar introduced the XK 150, the final iteration of the XK series. It, too, was available in the three body styles familiar from the XK 120 and XK 140: OTS (Open Two Seater), DHC (Drophead Coupe), and FHC (Fixed Head Coupe). The most significant changes were a redesigned body with more modern and slightly more aerodynamic lines, as well as standard four-wheel disc brakes—making it the first production vehicle in the world to feature them!

Our XK 150, equipped with a 210 PS 3.4-liter engine and a 4-speed transmission with overdrive, was apparently shipped to Canada and first registered there in 1959. Its history across the Atlantic is unknown, but the Jaguar was apparently fitted with an identical replacement engine from a 3.4-liter sedan and was restored at some point. The sporty coupe was likely imported to Switzerland in 2012. Upon arrival, the Jaguar underwent extensive preparation for its initial inspection here—the brakes were completely overhauled, the fuel tank and fuel pump were replaced, and the car was fitted with a stainless-steel exhaust system.

In early 2019, the XK was purchased from a dealer, who sold it to the current owner in June of that year. Since then, this lovely convertible has been driven less than 1,000 km. Currently, the Jaguar is in good to very good condition and, fresh from a service and its most recent vehicle inspection (MFK) as a classic car in May 2019, will be handed over to a new enthusiast. For Swiss buyers, the vehicle will be demonstrated on-site.
