Auction description:
1956 Jaguar XK 140 OTS Roadster
Consignment #: 1019
Estimate $90 – 115,000
Sold for $85,800
This 1956 Jaguar XK 140 has been used sparingly since it was modified to be a reliable and comfortable rally and tour car. Recently treated to a body-off restoration and documented with a photo album, the body and paint are finished to the highest standards. A new leather interior with leather bound carpets was also installed at this time. Under the bonnet, a 3.4L engine from a 1959 Mark 1 was selected for reliability and pleasant responsiveness, completely rebuilt and was then coupled with a five speed transmission. A Mallory Unilite distributor has been installed for further reliability, however, the rebuilt original conveys with the car. A new and correct Jaguar dual exhaust was fitted and for further convenience, the electrical system converted to a negative ground so modem electrical equipment can be used.
