Jaguar XK150 3.4 Drop Head Coupé – 1960 Rare automatic version – Original interior – Preserved, never restored – ASI Certified First registered in the United Kingdom in 1960, this elegant Jaguar XK150 Drop Head Coupé (DHC) was imported to Italy in 1975, when it was just 15 years old—not yet considered a classic car.
