1950 Jaguar Mark V 3.5 Litre Drophead Coupe Left-Hand-Drive
Introducing this post-war 1950 Jaguar Mark V 3.5 Litre Drophead Coupe Left-Hand-Drive featured with a matching numbers engine that has recently emerged from long-term storage. Finished in left-hand-drive configuration, this example is part of a limited production run of approximately 577 units for the 3.5-liter Drophead Coupe, placing it among the more uncommon variants produced during the Mark V’s short production window.
Powered by a 3.5-liter straight-six paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this Mark V reflects Jaguar’s immediate post-war engineering approach, blending pre-war styling with incremental mechanical updates. The engine is fed by dual SU carburetors, a setup widely used by Jaguar Cars during the period for its balance of performance and simplicity. Exterior details include a prominent chrome radiator grille topped by the Leaping Cat mascot, chrome bumpers with overriders, and period-correct lighting and trim.
Inside, the cabin is appointed with burl walnut wood trim across the dashboard and door caps, complemented by Smiths instrumentation and a four-spoke steering wheel. Seating consists of front bucket seats and a rear bench, while practical touches such as the integrated tool tray and glovebox reflect the car’s touring intent. The dash-mounted rearview mirror and classic switchgear maintain an authentic mid-century layout.
The Drophead Coupe configuration features its signature “three-position” soft top. External landau irons remain in place on both sides, highlighting the coachbuilt character of the body. Running boards with chrome-trimmed rubber step plates lead into sweeping rear fenders, where removable fender skirts (spats) partially enclose the rear wheels, enhancing the streamlined profile. The car rides on 16-inch steel wheels fitted with Jaguar-branded hubcaps and Michelin tires.
A notable detail about the Mark V is that, despite its classic appearance, it was the first Jaguar model to be offered with independent front suspension as standard, an advancement that significantly improved ride quality compared to its predecessors.
This example presents a rare opportunity to acquire a post-war Jaguar Drophead Coupe in a desirable configuration, offering a solid foundation for a straightforward restoration project. For $18,750
