Vehicle Description
1961 Jaguar XK150 3.8 Special Equipment (SE) Drophead Coupe (LHD) w/ Borg-Warner Automatic - 32k Miles, One-Family Owned, Matching Numbers This left-hand-drive Jaguar XK150 3.8 Drophead Coupe is a one-family-owned example from new showing just 32,000 original miles. Finished in Cornish Grey over a professionally restored Grey leather interior with matching carpets and trim, the car presents as an excellent, well-sorted casual show candidate and a strong driver. A quality repaint was completed a number of years ago, and while a minor shade variation is visible on the driver's side, the overall presentation remains impressive and consistent with a carefully maintained, enjoyed example rather than an over-restored trailer queen. Power comes from a matching-numbers 3.8-liter XK inline-six paired with a Borg-Warner automatic transmission, and the undercarriage is described as solid and original with no known structural repairs, no cover-ups, and documented winter storage throughout long-term ownership. A Jaguar Heritage Certificate will accompany the sale and confirms the original factory configuration, identification numbers, colors, and dispatch details.

The paintwork remains glossy and attractive with good overall fit and finish; a minor panel shade variation is visible on the driver's side. The interior restoration is a strong point of the car, with high-quality leather, carpet, and trim, and the convertible top was replaced at that time. The car has been carefully maintained and stored during winter months, and the underside is noted to be clean and original in appearance. Driving Experience The 3.8-liter XK engine provides classic Jaguar smoothness and torque, and the Borg-Warner automatic makes the car particularly easy to enjoy in modern traffic and on relaxed touring drives. This example is positioned for an enthusiast who wants an XK150 that can be driven and shown locally with confidence.
