This is a Dinky replica I got many years ago of the stylish Jaguar XK-150. Here it is in deep blue but I believe other colors were done for this diecast.

Very nice Michael. Here are two of the other colours.

I really like, and have, the cream colored one with the outstanding chrome wire wheels, the best I've seen on a relatively inexpensive diecast. All these are drophead coupes not roadsters.

These blue Jag's came in Dinky boxes by Mattel in 2006! At least mine did! Probably to keep the Dinky trademark alive? See https://www.maronline.org.uk/dinky-toys-in-2006/

It looks excellent in all those colors. I think I got mine at a Tuesday Morning resale shop many years ago.

The models look nice. The real cars are beautiful.

This was an awesome and impressive machine in the flesh. I saw one in the mid 80's at the same shop who fully restored my 65 Healey 3000 in Montreal.
Here is a video to fully appreciate these Jaguars and this one has the triple HD8 carb set up being one of the latest versions,

Nice ! What a great video look at this especially beautifully restored/maintained automobile. It certainly makes a fine 1:1 car and subject for the Dinky replica and model.

I have a bit of a funny story about an XK150 from many years ago which i wrote up for a magazine, Moss Motoring. It a fun read if you have a few minutes. Our Canadian posters form BC may know about one of the locations.

Excellent adventure story John. My own experiences with full sized Jaguars proved them to be thrilling and fun to drive but forever temperamental and needing attention. Like women, we could not live without them, loved them but found them sometimes high maintenance.

The Jags were tempermental for sure but my god were they ever gorgeous!

Can't say the one I have been using for 60 years is particularly temperamental but it has required its share of service and repairs over the 172,000 miles and 60 years of family ownership.
