This Jaguar Mk V 3.5 Drophead is a charming and elegant post-war luxury convertible, offering classic British motoring appeal.

It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre inline-six, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.

First registered in 1951, this example is currently registered in Australia.

The odometer indicates 269 miles, though this is not warranted.

Build year: 1951

Equipment and features

Finished in Ivory paintwork with a navy soft-top roof, over a re-trimmed red leather interior, featuring wood veneer trim.

It rides on a set of body-coloured 16-inch steel wheels fitted with Olympic Air-Ride tyres.

Equipment includes a four-spoke steering wheel, push-out front quarter light windows, reversed-hinged doors, a fold-down rear armrest, and Smiths gauges.

Accompanied by mechanical overhaul receipts from 2017, a 1991 RWC, and two keys.

Condition

Specific notes from the seller include: the car has been repainted.

Service history

The seller states that a mechanical overhaul was completed in 2017, with receipts detailing approximately AUD $40,000 of work.
