Beautifully Restored 1948 Jaguar MK IV 3 1/2 Litre Drophead Coupe LHD and Matching Numbers
According to Jaguar Heritage Trust, this stunning 3 Litre Mark IV Drophead Coupe chassis number 637251 was produced on the 17th of June 1948 and first sold as a left-hand-drive example through International Motors in Los Angeles, California. Originally finished in Battleship Grey over a black interior, today it wears attractive two-tone maroon over black fenders. The exterior features all the highly finished jewelry expected on a post-war luxury car including painted knock-off wire wheels with whitewall tires, dual fender mirrors, landau bars, and an accessory badge bar. The interior, with seating for five, has been smartly restored in tan leather with an appropriately matched three-position beige soft top. It runs and drives fantastic with its stout inline-six cylinder good for 125-horsepower and 100 mph top speed. This matching-numbers example of Jaguar's final pre-war Jaguar saloon is an especially well-restored example in 3 -Litre specification and the epitome of space, grace, and pace.
