We are proud to offer an authentic Drophead Coupé (DHC) version—the most refined and comfortable variant in the lineup. Produced in just 1,767 units, it sets itself apart from the Roadster with roll-up side windows, a gorgeous walnut dashboard, a fully lined soft top, and the signature rear wheel spats.

Condition & Philosophy

This is a beautiful, healthy driver’s car that is an absolute joy to take on the road. It is not a trailer queen destined strictly for concours lawns; as such, it shows subtle, honest signs of age and use consistent with its history. That is precisely its appeal: a turn-key automobile that runs flawlessly, ready to be enjoyed with total peace of mind.

It is the ideal motorcar for historic rallies, international classic events, or simply sophisticated weekend touring.

Specification & Features

Color Combination: Elegant grey-beige bodywork, paired with a beige soft top and a stunning red leather interior.

Drivetrain: The iconic 3.4-litre XK inline-six engine (approx. 160 hp) delivers smooth torque, eager acceleration, and that unforgettable exhaust note that cemented Jaguar’s reputation on the track and the open road.

Equipment: Period-correct Lucas auxiliary driving lights (giving it a great period competition look) and a subtly integrated modern radio for added convenience.
