Selling a 1961 Jaguar XK150 Roadster

 

The 1961 Jaguar XK150 Roadster was manufactured during the last year of XK150 production and brought about very little change from the previous year. As with all classic cars that are released at the end of a long production run, the 1961 model-year XK150’s are some of the most sought-after today, as they feature all the developments, advancements and changes that would come down the line throughout the life of the model. Interestingly, the Roadster, which had been the biggest selling in the XK120 and XK140 launches, was not longer the star of the show in terms of production. Accounting for only 13 percent of sales, a mere 2,200 models were produced. It is uncertain how many of those models actually remain in existence today. If you own a 1961 XK150 Roadster and are considering selling, the Alex Manos team would like to speak with you today. Boasting a powerful 3.8L engine, all the safety and technological advancements of the day, yet still gracing onlookers with unparalleled styling, iconic lines and a sensational curvature, the XK150 Roadster is a true classic worthy of any showroom or garage.

 

1961 Jaguar XK150 Roadster Seller’s Guide

Perhaps one of the best Seller’s Tips that the Alex Manos team can provide to those looking to sell a 1961 Jaguar XK150 Roadster is to be realistic with your expectations. Try to keep any emotion or feelings you have about the car separate from the sale. This will only cause you heartache in the long run. As with the sale of any item, always start with good quality photographs and an accurate description of the car’s condition. You’ll also want to ensure the garage or location where the car is kept is easily accessible for buyers and those coming to inspect the car. Furthermore, you’ll always want to allow serious potential buyers to test-drive the car, if applicable, and to perform a thorough inspection. These early Jaguars are particularly prone to rust, so don’t be surprised when buyers want to look under carpets to view floor pans and underneath the car to view the underbelly. These are just some of the area’s that these cars are known to hold rust. These are just a few Seller’s Tips in a long line of tips the Alex Manos team has learned from their years of experience in the classic car industry.
