Completed at Jaguar's Browns Lane, Coventry works during 1959, this now classic Jaguar XK150 was built as a top-of-the-line Drophead Coupe version and appears to have been configured as a right-hand drive example. The powerful and timeless Jaguar XK was acquired by Judge DiLoreto in the mid-2000s, and today displays its older restoration very well, while many finishes and ancillaries appear to be original and preserved. Finished in period-correct Carmen Red over a black interior and convertible top, this XK150 Drophead Coupe looks incredibly elegant and appropriate. Chrome wire wheels are installed fitted with whitewall tires, and out front a set of period-correct driving lights are mounted. The XK150's stamped engine block number appears to fall into the appropriate sequence, but the cylinder head appears to have been replaced at some point. A great entry to rallies and driving events, this Jaguar benefits from the many updates and improvements carried out on the XK model since introduced in the late 1940s.
