About the Jaguar and its restoration

This XK-150 S roadster has been an incredible build for a California collector that intends to drive and show the car. The collector wants his newly restored Jaguar to be dependable, as well as competition-worthy on the concours show field. He picked an incredible color combination of Jaguar Dark Blue, a striking Red interior, and a complimenting Dark Blue stay-fast top and matching Tonneau cover. The roadster will also feature a 5 speed transmission for better handling and performance, along with a set of white wall radials, creating a stylish, classic look. The restoration will be otherwise stock, adhering to Jaguar standards. 

The client intends to show the car at the upcoming 2023 La Jolla Concours d'Elegance, and after plans to campaign it at several other JCNA sanctioned events, as well other esteemed Concours events such as the esteemed Quail Concours this upcoming August.

Spring 2023 Restoration Update

Much progress has been made on the XK-150 S since our last update. The body was stripped down to its bare metal, and the car was painted in a beautiful Jaguar Dark Blue finish and looks striking. The brite work was also refinished to a high shine, and all the glass and lenses were replaced with new, correct parts. The interior was thoroughly restored in all of the correct and proper materials by our master trimmer, with new carpets, headliner, and other additions made to perfectly match. The engine and other mehcanical systems have been completely rebuilt, along with the roadster's suspension restored, with the brakes and electrical systems being refurbished as well.
