In the 1990s, this blue XK150 Roadster was restored to an impressively correct, award-winning standard by late Jaguar expert Reggie Ray in his Pennsylvania shop, and it still stuns today, with its deep blue paint and matching convertible top. The interior is upholstered in grey leather, with matching carpets, and it remains show-quality throughout. The chrome wire wheels sport knock-off caps and wide whitewall tires.

It is equipped with the 250-horsepower, triple-carburetor 3.4-liter "S" engine and also features the desirable Laycock de Normanville electric overdrive. The car's odometer shows barely 42,000 miles, which are believed to be genuine. It is equipped with a correct period Radiomobile AM radio and comes with its original tool roll and owner's manual. The car has earned numerous awards, including an AACA National First in 1996, several Best of Show awards, and multiple 100-point Jaguar Club North America honors. Accordingly, the car includes several boxes of trophies. Additional documentation provided with the car includes restoration photos and invoices. Since its show career, this Jaguar has covered very few road miles, and it has been properly stored for preservation in a climate-controlled environment, where it has been elevated on jack stands and has received regular lubrication. It has recently been serviced by F40 Motorsports in Connecticut.

Offered here is the XK model that cemented Jaguar's reputation as a world-class builder of sports GTs: an XK150 S in its most powerful, user-friendly, and refined form. This car is an impressive example and comes with a sterling pedigree.
