Model history

With the Jaguar XK 150, introduced in 1957, the final iteration of this British sports car hit the market following the Jaguar XK 120 and XK 140 models. The extensively redesigned car featured, among other things, a one-piece panoramic windshield, and the body had grown in all directions, now also featuring a continuous rear bumper. The engine remained a 3.4-liter inline-six; later in production, a 3.8-liter inline-six was also available. By the end of production in 1961, a total of just under 9,400 XK 150s had been built—this model was eventually replaced by the Jaguar E-Type.
