When it left the factory on 11 September, in SE (Special Equipment) specification, this Jaguar XK 150 roadster was equipped with wire wheels, fog lamps, dual exhaust tailpipes and a windscreen washer. Originally finished in black with a red leather interior, it was delivered new to Ms. S. Barish through Jaguar’s official distributor in New York.

It showed up many years later when it was owned by Ryan Robert in Amherst, who sold it in 2006 to the company OMTS in Hanover. OMTS carried out an extensive restoration and took the opportunity to make a number of hidden changes to make this fine example better to drive: a Getrag five-speed gearbox, power steering, uprated brakes, an improved cooling system and a Becker radio. The extent of the work can be seen from photographs and a DVD. The original seats were replaced by bucket seats for greater comfort, but the original items will be supplied with the car.

 Once the restoration had been completed, the car was sold to R. T'jolleyn, an industrialist from Kruishoutem in Belgium, who maintained it regularly before selling it on 27 July 2010 to Thierry Dehaeck, where it joined his XK 120 and XK 140.

The car’s history file includes several bills, a FIVA ID card, a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate confirming that it has its original engine, as well as various documents from the period. Since joining Thierry Dehaeck’s collection, the XK 150 has successfully taken part in various events; it was displayed at the Antwerp Collection Cars show in March 2025 and even featured in an advertising photo shoot for the Mercken menswear brand. In magnificent condition today, with its elegant dark green colour, updated to make it easier to drive, it will be ideal to take on rallies and road trips or to drive to a classic car meeting.
