Story

Ten months after the XK150 was launched in FHC and DHC configurations, Jaguar added a sporty OTS Roadster to the line up.
Available from March 1958, the XK150 Roadster came with a number of features not seen on previous OTS variants.

Aimed at a more "mature" clientele than the XK 120, the Roadster 150 is distinguished by a clear improvement in comfort due to its equipment.

Its hood and its retractable windows make it look more like a convertible than a pure roadster. The introduction of disc brakes as a standard is noteworthy.

More than an evolution, the 150 is a modern car, which meets the requirements of the American market, it is from now on a grand touring car and not a pure sports car.
