    Over the past few years, approximately 150,000 euros have been invested in this Jaguar XK 150 Drophead, with the available invoices present. Consequently, the car is intended for use as a driving classic and was indeed driven extensively during that period. The Jaguar XK 150 has also been driven recently, ensuring the model has retained a user-oriented character. The car is now for sale as the current owner's collection is being thinned out.

    The overdrive operates smoothly, the drivetrain shows no vibrations while driving, and the engine picks up well. The bodywork is sleek. The interior is beautifully finished and retains a lived-in character, befitting an older classic with a clear history of use. Within the context of the Jaguar XK 150, this is relevant, as it is precisely the combination of long-distance capability, open bodywork, and mechanical refinement that distinguishes the model from many contemporaries.

    This 1960 Jaguar XK 150 Drophead represents the final phase of Jaguar's XK series and combines distinctive 1950s styling with a practical history. The available documentation, the investments made, and the stated driving characteristics give the car a clear profile within the classic segment.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    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?
