    Built 1956 May Matching Numbers

    Offered for sale. Seller's description:
    This Jaguar 140 DHC (= Drop Head Coupe = soft top) left the factory in Coventry in May '56. Dispatched to the french importer Charles-F. Delecroix on July 23, '56 and delivered through Royal-Elysées, well known Jaguar dealer in Paris (France) on July 27, '56. The urban legend says that the fist owner was Paul Ricard (French business tycoon); unfortunately there are no evidence of that first ownership.
    20+ years ago, a man in Provence, went through a ground-up restoration. In Y2K, was sold to a person living in Baune (Burgundy). Bought it in 2008 and have to sell it due to others projects.
    This matching numbers 140 is a Special Equipment (but C type head) with (brand new) wire wheels, windscreen washers, OD. The Laycock-de-Normanville OD runs perfectly. The (original) gearbox is Close Ratio.
    The original body color was *Battleship grey*. The present paint is 20+ years old and still nice eventhough there are a few chips to fix. The leather trim (color: cream) is perfect. All the gauges are acurate and fine; speedo in KPH shows 37,180 (which stand for 137,180 of course).
    This fast and comfortable Jaguar is a pleasure to drive even in the modern daily traffic. She is ready for Concours d'Elegance and rallies as well.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
