This car is being sold for my father, who though he cherishes this car, can no longer enjoy driving it due to health. I have written below what I know about the car and what he has told me to include. I own a auto repair facility myself and have witnessed the tedious restoration this car endured. It was done very well. I am open to bidders coming to view the car and talk with the owner himself about the car and its condition.

This 1960 Jaguar XK150 coupe is finished in white over red leather upholstery and powered by a 3.8-liter DOHC inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The car was refurbished in the late 2000s at RMR Restorations in Hollis, New Hampshire, with a repaint and an interior retrim, and work performed within the last year has involved fitting an electronic ignition conversion kit, repairing the wiring, and replacing the steering rack mounts, sway bar bushings, coolant hoses, spark plugs, and various fluids. Equipment includes 16” knockoff wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, wing-mounted side mirrors, a dual exhaust system, and a burl wood veneer instrument panel. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2023, this XK150 is now offered with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, manufacturer’s literature, refurbishment photos, a tool roll, and a clean New Hampshire title listing the car as a 1961 model.
The car left the factory finished in British Racing Green and was repainted in white during the aforementioned refurbishment. Exterior features include a leaper hood ornament, a badge bar, wing-mounted side mirrors, dual exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The doors were adjusted in November 2022, and the left door seal was replaced. Paint chips on the right door are visible.
Chrome 16” knockoff wire wheels are mounted with 205/70 Goodyear Eagle LS2 tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, and the hydraulics were flushed in November 2022. The front sway bar bushings and steering rack mounts were replaced in March 2023.
The cabin features individual front seats and rear jump seats trimmed in red leather with a color-coordinated dash topper, door panels, and carpets. Burl wood veneer adorns the instrument panel, and additional appointments include a heater and a lockable glove compartment. The left-side window track felt was replaced in November 2022, while the interior wiring was repaired in March 2023.
The four-spoke steering wheel fronts central Smiths instrumentation consisting of a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline and an inset clock accompanied by a 140-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The clock was repaired in November 2022. The five-digit odometer shows 15k miles, and true mileage is unknown.
The 3.8-liter DOHC inline-six is equipped with dual SU carburetors and an aluminum radiator. Work performed in November 2022 included installing an electronic ignition conversion kit, repairing the starting carburetor wiring, adjusting the camshaft chain, tightening the timing cover and oil pan, and replacing the coolant pipe, radiator hoses, and spark plugs. The intake and exhaust manifold fasteners were tightened and the down pipe gasket was replaced in March 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The clutch hydraulics were flushed and the transmission and differential fluids were replaced in November 2022.
A Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate shows the original configuration and colors along with serial numbers for the chassis, engine, body, and gearbox.
