The Ultimate X150 ?

Everyone has an opinion and I am sure many will disagree with mine but personally I am surprised just how dated this XK150 RS GT looks ,its also relatively cheap when viewed against many other sporting Jaguars . Anyone have any experience of this Model ? I dont remember ever having seen one on the road . Is it an Investment or has it reached its " Top Money " already ?

The XK150 is well out of date, it hasn't a got a teatray full of touchscreen icons stuck to the dashboard, no blue LEDs and you can't get Facebook on it. Absolute junk eh!

Oddly enough there's a white XKR coupe near me; I think it looks a bit 'Japanese drifter'.

Many of you boys will remember when a white Jaguar was always marked down by the Dealer when it came to PX time , you didn't want White and you didn't want Ambla Upholstery , manual XJs could also be difficult to move on .

Indeed. This is a luxury GT that they've done everything they can to turn into a racing car, save for the gearbox, which is still a luxury car 'box.

Personally, I don't really get it, and would save myself about £120k and just get a mint regular XKR. Maybe use the change to buy 'proper' track car for the fun weekends if that's your thing.

What do you think about this idea of Investment Potential ? I see this Investment word more and more from Dealers where Jaguars are concerned and much of it I think is nonsense .

Surely if they were such great investments the dealer would be putting their money where their mouths are.
I mean, why alert someone else to the chance of making a killing when you could stay quiet and clean up yourself.

I think its very cheap for a rare Jaguar especially when compared to earlier C , D and E Types and I suppose you could add the XKSS into this mix also.
Once you strip out Racing Pedigree and Model Recognition from the equation you are left with only rarity which I dont think is enough to make this a great Investment . In my view its a curiosity and nothing more .
