About the Jaguar XK150
The XK150 was the third and final iteration of Jaguar's post-war sports car series, succeeding the XK120 and XK140. It introduced a more modern, slab-sided body with a one-piece wraparound windscreen and a wider interior for improved comfort. Mechanically, it was a pioneer as the first series-production car to feature four-wheel disc brakes as standard equipment. While heavier and more of a grand tourer than its predecessors, the 3.4-litre straight-six remained a potent heart, offering a refined driving experience that bridged the gap to the upcoming E-Type.

Jaguar XK150 fun facts
- The XK150 was the first production car to come standard with four-wheel disc brakes, a technology Jaguar pioneered at Le Mans.
- A major fire at the Browns Lane factory in February 1957 delayed the XK150's launch and destroyed much of the production tooling.
- The XK150's wider body was achieved by essentially widening the XK140 chassis and body by four inches to provide more cabin space.
