SOLD | JAGUAR XK150S 3.8 FHC
In 1998, one visionary enthusiast set out to create the ultimate road-spec Jaguar XK150. Not simply restored, but reimagined without compromise.
The result was this exceptional XK150S, built from a genuine, matching-numbers, UK-supplied RHD 3.8-litre Fixed Head Coupe, representing the final evolution of the XK lineage before the arrival of the legendary E-Type.
Created as the ultimate high-speed vintage touring machine, the specification was extensive. A Wide-Angle D-Type cylinder head, D-Type camshafts, forged pistons, custom connecting rods, polished crankshaft, triple Weber carburettors and a five-speed gearbox formed the foundations, alongside upgraded cooling, AP Racing brakes, custom suspension, limited-slip differential and bespoke aluminium wire wheels.
More recently, the car has received further mechanical upgrades including a complete engine rebuild by CMC, Jenvey Dynamics Heritage throttle bodies with a CMC custom ECU, air conditioning, power-assisted steering, upgraded Koni suspension and period-correct bucket seats.
Born on 17th May 1960 and dispatched just ten days later, this final-year XK150S benefits from the coveted 3.8-litre DOHC straight-six, making it one of the most desirable XK150 variants.
More than two decades after its transformation, it remains in outstanding condition and perfectly demonstrates how thoughtful engineering can enhance a classic without compromising its character.
With its blend of period-correct craftsmanship, significant performance upgrades and modern usability, this truly is a remarkable driver’s Jaguar.
