Auction description:

The Iconic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2024

Lot Number 221

1950 JAGUAR MKV DROPHEAD COUPE

Registration Number SXS 806

MOT Expiry Exempt

Chassis Number 640305

Engine Number T9830

Transmission Manual

Body Colour Royal Blue

One of 108 original right-hand drive examples of the rare MkV Drophead in superb condition.

Built in 1950, this rare Australian-supplied 3½-litre example spent the vast majority of its life down under, benefitting from a Concours-level restoration by renowned restorer Peter Leach in the 1990s. Upon completion, the car was traded between collectors within Australia until it was repatriated in 2021. Finished in its original colours of Royal Blue with a cream leather interior, we understand that it retains its original engine and four-speed manual gearbox.

SXS 806 presents well in its original colours of Royal Blue with a cream leather interior and the Australian climate has been kind to the underside which is impressive. Since its arrival back in the UK, it's been looked after by marque specialist and SS gurus, Davenport Cars.

Supplied with a large history file, this is a rare opportunity to purchase one of the most beautiful 3.5-litre, MkV Dropheads, one of just 108 built. An elegant car that surely encapsulates Jaguar's famous advertising tagline of 'Grace, Space, Pace'.
