The Drophead Coupe has spent the majority of its life in the magnificent New Mexico collection and has been loving restored while in the Meads care, with the bulk of the work taking place in 1972. Prior to making its way to the Quail Lodge, the MK V was serviced and sorted. Accompanying the car is a wonderful history file including correspondence between Mr. Mead and Jaguar Cars Limited Coventry, restoration documents and invoices, receipts from its very recent service, and an original instruction book. One of Jaguars finest post war offerings, this Mark V Drophead would make a fine addition to any collection.

The 1948 Jaguar 3½ Litre Mark IV Three Position Drophead Coupe featured here is finished in stunning Forest Green over a wonderful tan leather interior. This particular example was completed by the factory in 1947 just after Christmas and was originally dispatched to Geneva, Switzerland. By the mid 1960’s the Mark IV was under the ownership of a Chicago, Illinois, based enthusiast. Not long after the Jaguar was sold to sports car enthusiast, and later collector, Walter Mead. Beginning in the early 1970’s Mr. Mead began a thorough restoration, sourcing numerous parts from England and even writing to the Jaguar factory asking for parts availability. Mr. Mead would own and maintain the Jaguar Mark IV for more than 50 years, participating in several Jaguar Club events during that time. Today this Jaguar presents wonderfully, proudly displaying the patina and charm that one would expect from a high-quality older restoration! A recent service has been performed and with full CCCA eligibility, this Jaguar Drophead Coupe is sure to bring many years of enjoyment to its next caretaker. We are proud to offer this wonderful 1948 Jaguar 3½ Litre Mark IV Three Position Drophead Coupe to the most particular investor, collector or enthusiast who appreciates the appeal of British prewar style and luxury.

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?
