    1960 Jaguar 3.8 L XK150 DHC
    Restored, Numbers Matching, California Car

    This is an original California Black Plate 1960 Jaguar 3.8 L XK150 Drop Head Coupe restored by its second owner. The car is finished in a crisp white with a very nice and complementary Cinnamon leather interior and a black convertible top. Overall, this is a beautiful car that runs and drives exceptionally well. It has the original drive train (numbers matching), and the desirable Jaguar 3.8 L six cylinder engine, and chrome wire wheels. The car is equipped with a close ratio 4 speed gearbox and has electric overdrive. This California car underwent a body off restoration at XKs Unlimited in 1990 and has been driven sparingly since. During its previous ownership it was stored most of the time and taken out only for special occasions. The car is accompanied by its Jaguar Heritage certificate, which demonstrates this as a factory 3.8 numbers matching car. If you are a serious Jaguar collector or if this is the time for you to acquire your first classic Jaguar, then this is a car that you can not afford to let pass you by.

    Nicely presenting older restoration

    The famed XK line’s most evolved and refined form

    Charming white over brown leather

    Accompanied by JDHT certificate

    This XK 150 was completed on 1 March 1960. It left the factory as a left-hand drive example finished in British Racing Green over Tan with a Sand convertible soft top. The car was dispatched on 18 March 1960 destined for the United States where it was distributed through Jaguar Cars New York to an unspecified dealer.

    Today the car presents in white over brown leather with a black soft top, having benefited from a restoration some years ago. It features fender-mounted sideview mirrors and rides on whitewall tires mounted on chrome knock-off wheels. The XK 150’s 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine features dual S.U. carburetors, it is backed by a four-speed manual transmission. The interior has been retrimmed in brown leather, with both front seats exhibiting signs of use. Two small rear seats allow for additional passenger occupancy, albeit with little leg room.

    This beautiful XK 150 drophead coupe is accompanied by its JDHT production record trace certificate, owner’s handbook, maintenance chart, and select service invoices from years past.

    Cylinder Head No. VA 1645-8

    Finished in white over brown leather upholstery with an insulated black fabric soft-top

    Accompanied by a copy of its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, owner’s handbook, maintenance chart, and select service invoices from years past

    Completed on 1 March 1960, this factory 3.8-liter XK 150 wears the lavish drophead coupe body style with vent windows and insulated convertible soft-top. Per the car’s accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust history certificate, it was originally finished in the ultimate Jaguar color combination of British Racing Green over tan leather with a Sand convertible top. After its completion, this left-hand drive example was dispatched to the United States through Jaguar Cars of New York.

    Said to be wearing an older restoration, this example is now presented in white over brown leather with a black fabric soft-top. The leather interior presents well with the front seats showing a lived-in patina. The drophead wears dual fender-mounted sideview mirrors and rides on period-correct, 48-spoke, chrome wire wheels shod in wide whitewall tires to give the car a wonderfully regal appearance. The 3.8-liter inline-six cylinder is fed by dual SU carburetors and mated to a four-speed manual transmission.

    This charming XK 150 3.8-liter Drophead Coupe is accompanied by its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust history certificate, owner’s handbook, maintenance chart, and select service invoices from years past.

    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
