Nel 1957 un vasto incendio coinvolse gli stabilimenti della Jaguar danneggiando seriamente gli stampi XK140 delle carrozzerie coupè e cabriolet e distruggendo quelli della roadster. La casa automobilistica decise così di effettuare delle modifiche e presentare un nuovo modello chiamato XK150. Questa vettura venne prodotta inizialmente nelle due versioni conosciute con le sigle FHC (Fixed Head Coupè) e DHC (Drop Head Coupè), e dopo 1 anno venne aggiunta anche la OTS (Open Two Seater). Nei primi due modelli, veniva installato posteriormente dei sedili di tipo strapuntino, che permettevano di portare altre due persone. Questa sportiva di lusso faceva ricordare la XK140 nonostante la decisa opera di modernizzazione. Il parabrezza era diventato panoramico e in un solo pezzo ed il cofano era allargato ed allungato. Il frontale era più spiovente ed aerodinamico. Il motore era uguale a quello della XK140, un 6 cilindri in linea capace di erogare 193 cv di potenza, era montato anteriormente e con trazione posteriore. Lo spazio interno era aumentato grazie alle portiere di spessore inferiore rispetto alla sorella maggiore ed il cruscotto era rivestito in pelle.
Questo meraviglioso esemplare in versione FHC (Fixed Head Coupè) di colore Rosso con interni in pelle Rossa viene consegnata nuova a New York nel 1960 nel 1990 viene importata in Italia nel 1990, si caratterizza per il suo potente e affidabile motore da 3.8L e 223 cv accoppiato ad un brillante cambio meccanico a 4 marce + retro e da un potente impianto frenante composto da 4 freni a disco Dunlop e infine dai suoi inconfondibili cerchi a raggi con chiusura a galletti. Di questo modello ne furono stati prodotti solo 4101 esemplari. Questo dato la dice lunga circa il successo che quest’auto ebbe ai tempi della sua produzione e ancora oggi trovarsi di fronte ad un esemplare in queste condizione suscita le stesse sensazioni di eleganza mista a sportività che suscitava allora con l’aggiunta dell’assoluta meraviglia di guidare una macchina che ha 60 anni e ne dimostra appena la metà. Questo particolare esemplare è stato acquistato nel 2010 a Torino da Bepi Koelliker.
In 1957, a major fire raged through Jaguar's factories, seriously damaging the XK140 moulds of the coupé and convertible bodies and destroying those of the roadster. The car manufacturer decided to make modifications and introduce a new model called the XK150. This car was initially produced in the two versions known as FHC (Fixed Head Coupé) and DHC (Drop Head Coupé), and after 1 year, the OTS (Open Two Seater) was added. In the first two models, seats were installed at the rear, which allowed to carry two more people. This luxury sports car was reminiscent of the XK140 in spite of the decisive modernisation work. The windscreen had become panoramic and in one piece while the bonnet was widened and extended. The front end was more sloping and aerodynamic. The engine was the same as the XK140, an in-line 6-cylinder engine capable of delivering 193 hp of power, it was front-mounted and had rear-wheel drive. The interior space was increased thanks to the lower thickness of the doors compared to the bigger sister and the dashboard was covered in leather.
This wonderful example in Red FHC (Fixed Head Coupe) version with Red leather interior was delivered new in New York in 1960 and was imported to Italy in 1990. It is characterised by its powerful and reliable 3.8L and 223 hp engine coupled with a brilliant 4-speed + reverse mechanical gearbox and a powerful braking system consisting of 4 Dunlop disc brakes and finally its unmistakable spoked wheels with wing nuts. Only 4101 units of this model were produced. This says a lot about the success that this car enjoyed at the time of its production. Being in front of such a beautifully preserved car still arouses the same feelings of elegance mixed with sportiness. In addition, you will be driving a car that is 60 years old and shows just half of it. This particular model was purchased in 2010 in Turin by Bepi Koelliker.
