Sold new by a dealership in London in September 1955, as evidenced by its Jaguar Heritage certificate, the Jaguar XK140 is equipped with a manual transmission with overdrive. In elegant British racing green livery, featuring a beautiful restored beige leather interior with well-preserved woodwork, this Jaguar is in good condition and drives well.
Purchased in 2010 by its current owner, the car has since benefited from a refurbishment of the door panels and the rear seats, a replacement of the rubber mounts at the front axle and various maintenance work to ensure comfortable use. The mechanicals work well and the car is very sound. It is equipped with a circuit breaker, an alternator, an additional fan and long span headlights.
Combining performance, elegance and refinement, this Jaguar has been adapted to modern traffic, making it a model of choice for any fan of the pouncing cat.
