Launched in 1957, Jaguar’s XK150 was the third and final iteration of XK range and considered by many to be the best driving model.

This beautiful American market Jaguar was built on 13th January 1960 to its Miami Beach owners chosen specification to include automatic transmission, an exclusive option in its day, as only 72 were produced out of the estimated total production run of 586 DHC cars. Interestingly, this Jaguar was collected from the factory and delivered on Coventry plates (3850 DU) so the new owner, Mr Bisso we understand, could enjoy a European Summer jaunt before returning with the car to Florida.

Returning to Europe during the early 1970’s at the behest of an Italian Jaguar distributor who purchased the XK on behalf of his daughter, the car was to be seen on the roads around Milan for many years…..precise and meticulous maintenance was obviously handled by the family dealership. In more recent times this car has resided in the family’s private & outstanding 15 Jaguar car collection where it has enjoyed a pampered existence.

Due to the sale of the family business and the subsequent dismantlement of their collection, this Jaguar is available for the first time in nearly 40 years.
