This classic was restored in the 1990’s to a show level finish. It has been driven only 1400 miles since the restoration. The owner, prior to myself, owned it since 1972. When he passed, I was able to acquire the car from his estate.
It is a numbers matching car, with the venerable 3.4 liter inline six cylinder engine that was fully rebuilt during the restoration. It starts on the first turn of the key and idles perfectly. No smoke, no drama. She drives very well and shifts well – having a new clutch and a rebuilt transmission.
It features chrome wire wheels – including the spare.
The interior is in restored condition aside from vandalism done at a car show. Note in the pictures that the door panels (only) were sliced – both sides. I’ll have these panels redone before the new buyer acquires the car.
Also, I have new (wing) side view mirrors that will be installed prior to the acquisition AND new chrome bonnet trim (just arrived). There was a small ding on the old one.
The right rear turn signal has a dent – but, I ordered a new one – and will replace it.
Other than that, she shows very nicely. I’ve had a vast collection of cars and have been fond of XK’s for many years and have owned many. This coupe is – pretty. I was tempted to put white wall tires on her – but have not yet done so.
All of the chrome is in great shape, the grill is straight and very nice. The bumpers look great also, as the previous owner rechromed everything.
The odometer was reset at time of restoration. I do not know the original miles, but post restoration, it doesn’t really matter.
The tires look new with no dry rotting at all. The wire wheels are in great shape, but would benefit from a detail.
The interior leather is free of wear and tear and looks new. The wood dash was redone and looks beautiful.
The trunk compartment (boot) was restored also – and the engine compartment, although dusty now, was restored. The head is a correct light green color.
I am searching for a set of windshield wiper as the car mysteriously does not have them. Frankly, until I took the pictures, I forgot.
She is fine running car and a bit of a bargain really, as you can attend any car show and many rally events in an XK150. They are powerful and torquey and a pleasure to row through the gears.
She is ready for the new owner as I must reluctantly sell her to fund my technology company. (startups aren’t easy).
I’ve placed a best offer option on her so an astute buyer will get a great deal.

Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.
2014 Jaguar F-Type
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Stepping Into The Lion's Den With A Big-Hearted Cat
If you're like me - and our demographics suggests you are - you've probably never seen a new Jaguar sportscar at your local showroom. I'm 36, and it hasn't happened in my lifetime... and not by a little bit. Oh, there have been a string of XK coupes and convertibles, and as of late, there have even been some genuine high-performance specials - namely the R, R-S and R-S GT models - but their basis has always been the 2+2 grand tourer shell, not a lighter and smaller footprint with more intrinsic sporting intent. The truth is that it's been a half-century since Jaguar introduced a proper new sportscar. Today, most people know the brand strictly as a purveyor of wood- and hide-lined luxury sedans.
In fact, if you're not an enthusiast with some appreciation for the marque's history, it's a bit odd to hear Jaguar executives proclaim that they are a sportscar company and always have been. By their reckoning, the 2014 F-Type seen here is in fact a return to form, a Rip Van Winkled brand pillar reanimated and reimagined to take center stage. It's a sentiment that must be particularly odd for car shoppers in developing markets like China, where Jaguar hasn't even been selling cars for very long. Yet because the original 1961 E-Type is perhaps the most gorgeous car ever to lay ply on the world's roads, we're prepared to cut them some slack.
