A Jaguar XK 150 S Drophead Coupé, completed at the factory on 10 June 1960 and delivered new in British Racing Green by Henlys of London. Built in right-hand drive, it was reportedly owned early on by the Managing Director of Jaguar's distribution division before export to the Netherlands, where it was converted to left-hand drive. Acquired in 1968 by the consignor's father, the car has remained in single-family ownership since. It retains its matching-numbers engine and presents in highly original factory-correct condition.
