Jaguar's series of XK sports cars used the remarkable twin overhead
camshaft engine that was first exposed to the public in 1948 in the
new XK120 two-seater, which took the motoring world by storm. For
1954 the XK120 was replaced by the mildly restyled XK140 model,
with an increase in power, optional overdrive and a roomier
cockpit. It was replaced in 1957 by the XK150. With disc brakes on
all wheels, the option of engines up to 265bhp and a completely new
body, the XK150 was an extremely competent performance car with
more than a touch of glamour. This book opens with an exposition of
the background to the introduction of the XK140, a key model
because the XK120 was such a hard act to follow. Then comes a full
technical analysis of the new car, covering all aspects of the
chassis, running gear, engine and transmission. This sets the scene
for the coverage of the XK150. Major production changes during the
evolution of the two models are recorded, and production and sales
worldwide are analyzed in depth. The author also provides
information on prototypes and special-bodied cars.
