The XK 120 was launched in 1948 and was an international sensation that finally put Jaguar on the world stage. The XK's good results in both motor racing and international rallying were instrumental in beginning a long successful period for the company. The XK 150 was the final incarnation of the XK range, it was a more refined and capable machine than its predecessors. Easily distinguishable from the XK 140 by its wider grille, higher door line an improved interior space the XK 150 looked a lot more modern, fitting in with the trend of more streamlined cars. The walnut dashboards from earlier cars was replaced with leather in the XK 150. On the front parking lights, which were located atop the fenders, a little red light reminded the driver the lights were on. Most of the things that were optional for the XK 140 were now standard issue, this among other things meant break discs at the front and back. The new XK 150 retained the engine from the XK 140, a 3.4 litre straight-six. Suspension and chassis were very also similar to the XK 140, and steering was by rack and pinion.
