This 1960 Jaguar XK150 roadster has spent 49 years in the care of its current owner, and it was the subject of a refurbishment approximately seven years ago. The car wears a repaint in red, and it is powered by a replacement Jaguar inline-six that is said to displace 3.8 liters. Shifting is through a four-speed manual transmission, and refurbishment work also included reupholstering the cabin in red leather and replacing the black convertible soft top. Additional equipment includes 16″ wire wheels, knock-off hubs, disc brakes, EZ Electric power steering, fog lights, and adjustable seats. This XK150 is now offered on dealer consignment in Canada with British Columbia registration.

The car wears a repaint in red and features a replacement black soft top, a one-piece windshield, fog lights, bright trim, and full-width chrome bumpers with overriders. Refurbishment work also included re-chroming the exterior trim.

The 16″ wire wheels have knock-off hubs and are mounted with Michelin X Radial tires tires, and a full-size spare is stored under the trunk floor. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, and the car is equipped with EZ Electric power steering.

The adjustable seats have been reupholstered in red leather along with matching seatbelts, and the cabin features a leather-wrapped dashboard, a cabin heater, a defroster, wind-up side windows, door storage pockets, and a folding rear bulkhead.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 6k-rpm tachometer, an inset clock, a 140-mph speedometer, and an ammeter alongside gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles, and total mileage is unknown.

The replacement Jaguar inline-six is said to displace 3.8 liters. The reproduction cowl tag lists the engine number as 7B57543-9.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

The car is registered in British Columbia, Canada, using the chassis number listed.
