Leaving the bumpers off has turned this car into a beautiful thing, well done Hamster. Don't let Clarkson near it.
I’m glad that there are some people with the money and love for cars, to restore vintage machines like this. It’s wonderful to see them out on the road. I wish I could afford to do the same.

Hi how are you doing
I'm 74, & have always found the XK 150 to be the beautiful Jaguar ever built.
A truly lovely job Richard! That cat's purr is because she's happy!
Jag (Jaaaaaaaaag) definitely knows how to design and build a beautiful machine.
There's nothing like the crunch of a jaguar on a gravel drive.
If you ask me, that's the best looking Jag ever. Nice restoration. Beauty.
I love the way it sounds. I'd drive it for that alone.
Grey is not my favorite color, but this car looks great wearing a coat of it. Super restoration job. Cheers!
Richard is such a great presenter. Even on his own without the others he is fun.
This is how a restomod should be done. Built to be driven. Love it.
This is an Amazing example of the beautiful XK150... Congratulations on the restoration...
Jags always had the most beautiful cars.

Perfect Zen when watching Richard, Jeremy or James drive old cars and give their history. All is right in the world. Hopefully a new Grand Tour special in the near future too
I am not usually envious of others, and not well off, but I have to be honest. What a beautiful balanced running cat and artwork. Makes you realize how great life can be.
It's a beautiful car. A lovely cross between class, style, luxury, and sport.
It looks beautiful. Nice job Mr. Hammond.
Stunning machine and an absolute beautiful soundtrack from that Engine❤❤
Congratulations sir, I know the feeling of waiting on your project to finish.
I love that stretch of road between Much Marcle and Ross...brings me back happy memories of when I worked in Ledbury 😍
Absolutely beautiful. I know you will love it for years to come.
Love the sounds. Love the look. Definitely appreciate the hand made finesse. Dreaming of the handling and driving it through the back hills of Pennsylvania! "I like leather straps!" Classic Hammond, but can't say I don't agree.
One of the most beautiful cars even built.
I was offered an XK150 convertible for fifty pounds in 1969. I turned it down because the MoT had run out and it needed some welding doing. At the time, I did my own mechanical repairs but knew nothing about welding and it would have been expensive to pay someone else to do it. Fifteen years later I'd learned enough to be making my living buying MoT failures, fixing them up in my workshop including doing my own MiG welding and resprays and selling them from the sales front. The work the XK150 had needed would have been a trivial job for me by them. It almost makes me cry when I think what might have been.
This is sooooo beautiful, and the straight 6cyl sound is astonishing
Beautiful car, lovely restoration. Always makes sense to upgrade the brakes and other mechanicals and install some modern technology. Fantastic job by your team.👍
Thank you Richard. You are one of the best TV presenters. I wish we could watch the show in the USA.
Would love to see Hammond drive in it with the restorers. And have a chat as they go down the road to get their opinion.

Love em or Hate em, Once you drive one you cant help but walk away in awe and that applies to most sorted Jags before 1970.
Love what you've done there, totally with you on the full bumper delete, it just makes all classic cars look so much cleaner and pure 🤩 although I love the idea of leather straps somehow the one at the front seems slightly overkill to me, but I'm sure in person it looks incredible!
For what it’s worth, that is a gorgeous motor sir. Well done indeed.
And that's why Richard Hammond is very enjoyable to watch in Top Gear. He has a real love for cars and the machine itself. It's like the song Red barchetta the very best description of how it feels to drive a real sports car
I know this compliment will be lost, but I can see the utter love that went into this restoration.

Hamsters mental space always worries me but always happy to see him succeed huge fan truly
After driven a few old and a few old cars, I do get the appeal of the older gearbox over the more modern one.
I am unbelievably grateful for the folks that have the ways and means to restore these classics. I have a special place in my heart for Jaguars, especially the XK150 and E-Types.
This car is a work of art, and I mean art. Fluid, lively, expressive. I'm so glad Hammond has restored it and given it love.
Yes, English luxury cars have never been the most reliable or the most well thought-out, but definitely the most beautiful! An Italian could be jealous of the Jaguar and that's what I say as a German!👍

Italy had their own beauties as well. Yes, I know what Enzo said about the E-type, and he was mostly right, but still. Italians are the kings of car design. And pre-war French, too (Delahaye, Delage, Talbot, Avions Voisin, Bugatti etc.)
Many cars are faster than this: and no-one cares. Thank you Hammond!
