This 1960 Jaguar XK150 Drop Head Coupe is the kind of long-term ownership example collectors always hope to find, having remained with the same owner since 1966. Showing 72,321 original miles and retaining its original character, this left-hand drive convertible is documented by a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate confirming its correct color combination and numbers-matching drivetrain. The car carries chassis number S 838637 BW, engine number VA 1468-9, body number P 8147, and automatic gearbox number JBX 1590, and was originally distributed through Jaguar Cars of New York.

Finished in Cream over a Red interior, the car presents with a timeless and elegant look that perfectly suits the XK150's flowing late-1950s design. The body rides on painted wire wheels and features a black soft top frame that is complete but will require a new top installed. The paint received one repaint in the late 1980s and still shows the car's presence well today as a preserved driver-level example rather than a freshly restored car.

Power comes from the desirable 3.8 litre DOHC inline-six engine paired to a rare low-production automatic transmission, a configuration seldom seen on XK150 models. The engine runs strong and sounds excellent thanks to recent servicing including new dual 6-volt batteries, ignition coil, and carburetor floats. The car will run and lot drive and can be driven onto a trailer, however the brakes and tires will require replacement and general mechanical systems should be gone through before regular road use.

Equipped with four-wheel disc brakes - an advanced feature for its era - this Jaguar represents a solid and honest candidate for sympathetic recommissioning or a full restoration depending on the next owner's goals. With little work it could be enjoyed as a preservation-style driver, or taken to the next level cosmetically and mechanically.

Offered as a project vehicle, this XK150 provides an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a documented, long-term ownership Jaguar convertible with matching numbers, original specification, and excellent restoration potential.
