1960 Jaguar XK 150 Drophead Coupe
The 1960 Jaguar XK 150 Drophead Coupe represents the culmination of Jaguar's revered XK series before the E-Type revolution. As a more refined and practical successor to the XK 140, the XK 150 offered notable upgrades such as four-wheel disc brakes, improved suspension, and an enlarged interior for increased comfort. This convertible model (Drophead Coupe) was ideal for spirited drives with the top down, powered by a robust 3.8-liter DOHC straight-six engine delivering exceptional performance and a top speed approaching 130 mph. Its exterior styling retained the classic XK curves but introduced a wider front grille and single-piece windshield, hinting at the modernity to come. Both a high-performance machine and a rolling work of art, the XK 150 Drophead Coupe remains a symbol of 1960s British motoring prestige.
