Sellers description:
Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate No.12359. This will tell you how it started life on March 26th 1958. Today June 20013 it is exactly as it was then, same spec's, serial no's, and colors. Now let me tell you what I can of the 55 years between those dates. It was shipped to Jaguar Cars New York in the spring of 1958. This was the first year of production for the XK150 and one of only 2,173 OTS XK150's ever produced in all it's years of production. The next piece of documentation I have is when the car was sold in the 1980's in Connecticut to Guy Broad an XK150 specialist in the U.K. and shipped to England. He said they found the car in poor but all original condition. Then In the mid to late 1990's it underwent various cosmetic restorations, body, interior and top. In 2004 the car was then purchased by an individual in Michigan at a cost of $65,000.00 and shipped back to the states. Upon it's arrival he found it in very poor mechanical condition. He sent it to Jaguars Unlimited in Highland Park IL. and at a cost of $64,119.64 had everything mechanical overhauled and restored with the exception of the manual transmission and overdrive. In 2006 I purchased the car from him at a cost of $72,000.00. Later that same year the engine developed a knocking noise. Because it was two years past overhaul and out of warranty I took it to J K Restorations. They are Jaguar specialists I was familiar with located in Oswego IL. Jim told me they came across enough damage to recommend another complete engine overhaul. He also recommended that with the engine out it would be a good idea to overhaul the transmission and the overdrive unit. So at a cost of $13,720.00 it was done. During that same time period I also spent approximately $6000.00 for chrome wire wheels and other items to return the car back to original specifications. Between the previous owner and myself we have invested about $150,000.00. What does that have to do with the value of this car? Most likely not much. The car is worth what the market says it's worth not more or less regardless of how much was spent on it. I stated all the above because I hope you find it interesting and informative in your evaluation. Since that time over the last 7 years the car has been as close to perfect as you can get. Not only does it look great (the underside is as detailed) it drives and runs just as good. With the overdrive it will effortlessly and comfortably cruise all day on the interstate at 80 mph and still retain passing power. I have a 4 inch stack of pictures and receipts documenting it's history from 1996 to present.
The car is available to examine and drive at your pleasure in Oconomowoc, WI. Where is Oconomowoc you ask? About 25 miles comfortably west of Milwaukee.

It currently has on chrome Dayton wire wheels. The original pearl gray wire wheels are included with the car.

1958 Jaguar XK150 3.4-Liter Roadster
Chassis no. S830174DN
Engine no. V2655-8
Entering the world on March 26th, 1958, this XK150 Open Two Seater, commonly referred to as the Roadster, was dispatched to Jaguar Cars New York on nearly a month later on April 21st. Finished in Pearl Grey over red leather with a black top, its 3.4-liter motor was mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Seemingly spending the first two decades on the East Coast, in the 1980s it was sold from Connecticut to XK150 specialist Guy Broad in the UK and shipped back to its country of origin. Described at the time as being not being in the best shape but all original, it underwent a cosmetic restorations in the 1990s.

Purchased by a Michigan enthusiast in 2004, the Jag made its way back to the US. Sent to Jaguars Unlimited in Highland Park, Illinois, an extensive restoration of the car was performed. With receipts totaling over $64,000, the restoration focused primarily on cosmetic restoration with the engine only be mildly tuned and the transmission left untouched. Acquired by the penultimate Wisconsin owner in 2006, J.K. Restorations of Oswego, Illinois was enlisted to do a complete drivetrain overhaul with the engine and transmission coming out of the car and some $13,700 worth of parts and labor being spent to ensure reliable operation. At this time the, an additional $6,000 was spent chroming the wheels and correcting some details that the needed attention. Driven sparingly, the present owner purchased the car in the summer of 2013.

Elegantly presented in its original colors and with its original engine block, head, transmission, and chassis, this XK150 stands out beautifully. Replete with a thick stack of receipts documenting its multiple extensive restorations, a photo book showing the work completed, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, original maintenance and original owner's handbook. The final and most refined iteration of the XK, this XK150 Roadster is surely a fine addition to any garage.
