I bought the car in 1982 in Tenn.
I moved to FL in 1984 and moved the car to FL in 1997. I started the restoration in 2005 Jan. I had to move it to a new shop in 2011. It should soon be finished. All it takes is money.
Fun car to drive. I drove it in TN an SC in 1982 after I bought it. Have not driven since 1984.

Sellers description:
RARE "S" MODEL ROADSTER.
In our 28 year history and after 1000's of Jaguar sales, we feel this car offers more 'bang for the buck' then most XK models. Once you open the hood, 'the Show's Over' for most competitors. The glistening bank of Carburetors,S? Badging and 'Gold Head' tell the story- THIS is one rare car.

Discovered in a barn in Tennessee, it has 58,662 original (title proven) 'actual' miles, with only 300 miles since restoration. It's discerning restoration, in 2012, was done by Tom Curren of Coventry Classic in Orlando, Florida. It has been judged 99+ points at many JCNA (Jaguar Club of America) Concourse Club Shows. It won Southeastern Champion twice and North American Champion in 2015. It has been subjected to a scrupulous, Frame-Off restoration to exacting standards. Everything was rebuilt or replaced. Driven to many shows, it is a gorgeous car down to the screws,rivets and hose clamps.

This beauty was also used by the Producers of the 'Mad Men' Television Show as the Center Piece in the Grand Ball Room at the Omni Champion Gate Hotel in Orlando, FL. for the '?Mad Men Convention'? (see photos below) and is being offered for the first time for sale exclusively by Classic Dreamcars/ Mount Dora Museum of Speed.

Our XK150 S Model has won many shows and events including Amelia Island. It is a stunning color combination and in a recent study of sales- the car is priced very fairly to sell @ $225,000 USD (190 EU).
