The XK 150 is the successor to the XK 120 and XK 140 and the predecessor to the E-Type, or XKE Jaguar. The XK 150 was an evolution into the more stately and comfortable Gran Turismo automobile; sporting all-wheel disc brakes, wire wheels and a more plush interior. The XK 150s are recognized as a beautiful and timeless example of a Grand Touring automobile.

This XK 150 (S831033) was built in July 1958 and was apparently first sold and registered in 1959. It is powered with a 3.4-liter engine and manual four-speed transmission. The car starts immediately and runs very strong with effortless shifting through all four gears.

The car is Carmen Red with Biscuit leather interior and shows 82,920 miles on the odometer, which is believed to be original. This car was stored from 1979 until October 1997 and the prior owner, who had a stable with a number of classic cars, indicates it was restored in 2005. The car has its correct drivetrain components with a rust-free and accident-free body, a stainless exhaust, new gas tank and new brakes. The chrome is in excellent shape and the five wire wheels appear to be new with the restoration. The top is also in good condition.

This classic is the highly desired roadster model and will serve as an excellent example in any classic sports car collection.
