Car to be at auction
www.coys.co.uk/auction.php

Auction description:
Lot 125 - 1954 Jaguar XK140
Estimate: €75,000 - €90,000
Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: 810055

Originally delivered to California, this elegant left-hand drive example was the 55th Roadster off the production line, manufactured on the 21st October 1954 and dispatched to the States on the 2nd November.

Having just undergone a comprehensive restoration including an engine rebuild, new clutch, re-finished in metallic grey with a contrasting re-trim in red hide with matching new carpets and contrasting black hood and tonneau, this fine example is resplendent on new chrome wire wheels with new tyres and re-chromed bright work.

This matching numbers example is supplied with EU taxes paid documents, original US Title documents and a current UK MoT certificate.

With the last owner since 1975 this very desirable and rare model is beautifully presented and a must for any serious collection. It embodies what a Jaguar is all about safe in the knowledge that this car will still look fabulous from any angle in another 58 years.
