• A lefthand drive Drophead Coupe with automatic transmission

• Upgraded cooling and 4 speed automatic transmission
• Superb colour combination , in really perfect condition

The XK140 DHC we have on offer is an original left-hand drive car, originally exported to the USA and equipped with the automatic transmission. It has been the subject of a full body-off restoration to very, very high standards. The engine had a complete rebuilt by renowned craftsman Ruud Sikking and in order to cope with modern traffic the cooling system, brakes and brakebooster were renewed and upgraded. At the same time, a modern 4 speed transmission from an XJ has been fitted instead of the Borg Warner 3 speed, offering performance comparable to the manual transmission but with much more comfort. The car has been used regularly and has been maintained extensively and drives superbly.

At Kroymans Classic we have seen quite a lot of Jaguars XKs, but this black DHC Automatic really is an exceptional driver in beautiful cosmetic state. It certainly is your entrée to major events and it is a perfect car for longer distances, both for male and female drivers. Highly recommended!
