Jaguar XK150
What is your favourite car of all time?
Introduced in May 1957 the XK150 represented the last manifestation of the XK concept. Very different from its predecessors, the most obvious change was a considerable straightening of the wing-line, whereas it had swept in such an exaggerated fashion on previous models. A one-piece windscreen further modernized the car's appearance and a four inch wider bonnet allowed greater access to the engine. Braking was greatly improved, in place of the barely adequate traditional drums, the XK 150 adopted all-round disc brakes which were developed on the C and D-type racing cars. Offered in drop-head or fixed-head specifications, some 75% of XK150s were exported. The ultimate model, introduced near the end of production was the 3.8 litre (232cu.in.) triple carburettor version.
