It's a big cat

Asked by Linda O'Connell

COULD you identify the car in the Visa card ad on TV? It's the one with Lance Henrikson talking about a big cat.

IT'S a Jaguar XK150 coupe. A fire in the factory disrupted Jaguar plans and the company had to continue with an update of the ageing XK120/140 series instead of pressing ahead with a new-generation sports car derived from its great racing successes of the 1950s. The XK150 was the result. It began production in 1957 and continued until the E-Type arrived in 1960.
