*Original right-hand drive model

*Extensively upgraded

*Owned by Peter Phillips since 2011

One of only 479 right-hand drive XK140 drophead coupés made, this example was built in January 1956 and despatched to Geneva, Switzerland the following month. The accompanying JDHT Certificate shows that '807358' was originally finished in maroon with red trim and sand soft-top.

Peter Phillips purchased the XK from Mr & Mrs G Whitehouse of Worcestershire in February 2011, at which time it had covered only 17,000 miles since being restored in 2001 by marque specialists Twyford Moors Classic Cars. Extensively upgraded, the car incorporates the following modifications/additions:

Rebuilt engine and gas-flowed cylinder head by Sigma

2" SU carburettors

Front disc brakes with 4-pot callipers

Adjustable power steering

Adjustable Spax shock absorbers

Poly-bushed suspension

Aluminium radiator and header tank

High efficiency Kenlowe fan

Since its acquisition by Peter Phillips, the XK has been maintained by independent Jaguar specialists Thomas Barclay Ltd, as evidenced by numerous bills on file. A fast road/touring car capable of embarrassing many a more modern conveyance, 'WSJ 522' also comes with a V5C Registration Certificate and its service history for the period 2001 to 2011. Although not used for the last 18 months, it has nevertheless been started regularly and stored in a modern purpose-built car storage barn commissioned by Peter Phillips.
