Buying a 1960 Jaguar XK150 Roadster

1960 Jaguar XK150 RoadsterManufactured by Jaguar from 1957 to 1961, the XK150 was first available in the Fixed Head Coupe and Drop Head Coupe versions. It wouldnt be until 1958 when the Roadster would become available. Though the XK150 was not the longest-lived of the illustrious XK lineup, it would prove to be the most profitable, accounting for more than 52 percent of sales. If youre looking for a 1960 Jaguar XK150 Roadster, they (and other model-year XK150 Roadsters) are quite difficult to find, as they only made up approximately 13 percent of sales during this time period. Also something to keep in mind is that the first XK150s were actually slower than their predecessors, a deficit that was corrected in the spring of 1958 when a 3.4L S engine was added. This engine, with its three SU carburetors and straight-port cylinder head increased power quite significantly.
