The mirror black exterior was professionally painted over a structurally beautiful Jaguar body with excellent line and panel fitment and jeweled with correct show quality chrome and stainless.  The lush red leather interior is stunning with correct dash and instrumentation and is an absolute pleasure to drive in comfort unlike the smaller XK models. The prestigious black British sports car is rolling on newer chrome spoke nock off wheels and whitewall radial jaw dropping elegant good looks.  

 

The 4-speed Moss gearbox shifts easily and accurately through the gears with a recently installed new clutch. The suspension is tight with a recent set of adjustable Spax shocks all-around, polyurethane bushings including upper and lower control arm bushings and sway bar mounts. It has excellent 4-wheel disc brakes, just serviced including a new master cylinder, reservoir, rotors, and hoses. The car rides nicely on 16" chrome wire wheels wrapped in 6.50/R16 Coker Classic radial whitewalls.

The exterior finish is smooth as glass and ripple-free with brilliant depth and shine. The glass, rubber, chrome, stainless and cloth hood look to have been re-commissioned at the time of the restoration and show well with just mild aging as should be expected. This pretty old Jaguar has a lovely overall appearance and feeling to it.

The interior is beautiful and comfortable. The leather, panels, dash, gauges, chrome, headliner, and rugs are in very nice condition and pleasing for even long drives. The convergence of high-quality materials wreak of that intoxicating classic British scent that can only be experienced in a vintage Jaguar. The hood folds down easily, and there is a matching boot cover for top-down cruising. This lovely XK150 is a wonderfully comfortable car to ride in, pleasing to its lucky passengers' senses.

This is a rare opportunity to own the only 3.8-litre XK150 DHC presently for sale in the US with the added cache of major celebrity ownership.
