Auction description:
1960 Jaguar XK150 DHC
VIN: S838790DN
Lot Number: S722

With only 586 examples produced between 1958 thru 1961, this 1960 3.8 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe represents this most desirable of Jaguar's "Most Elegant Sports Cars" from the entire XK series. Delivered with an ultra-rare high-compression engine backed by a 4-speed overdrive transmission, it is known that only a handful (less than 200) were produced in this configuration. This example received a ground up refurbishment from a renowned Jaguar restoration facility including all mechanical components and has been equipped per the French "European Style" with rare amber fog lamps, turn indicators, and tail lights appropriate to that market. The XK150 Drophead is considered to be the best driving car of the popular XK series with power assisted disc brakes front and rear, rack and pinion steering and this example boasts a rare 9-1 high compression 220 HP double overhead cam engine. Fully documented with Heritage Certificate from the Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust this is a beautiful and elegant matching numbers car with well over six figures invested in this beautiful automobile.
