The Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust states that S811883 was completed November 29, 1955, leaving the factory in Pastel Green paint with a tan leather interior and Fawn canvas top. It was delivered to the Charles Hornburg Company of Los Angeles on July 5th, 1955 and thence to its first owner. Furthermore, the document affirms the authenticity of the vehicles 'SE' specification, and the high performance C-Type head can be found on the car to this day.

While this original owner remains a mystery as a name is not provided on the certificate, the Jaguar has more recently found its home within the company of a lifelong Jaguar enthusiast. In 2014, a ground up restoration was completed resulting in the fantastic condition of this Jaguar today. Finished in a striking and elegant Old English White exterior complete with a white top and whitewall tires, the starkness of this combination truly allows the flowing lines of the XK140 to be fully exposed in the daylight. A bright red interior compliments nicely with a welcome pop of color. Having been sparingly used since the completion of the restoration, both the exterior and interior have remained free from any serious displays of degradation.

We are proud to announce that the proceeds of the sale of this XK140 will benefit the Morris Animal Foundation. This organization is the largest nonprofit dedicated to improving animal health and is the only one dedicated to the effort worldwide.

Supporting a good cause such as this has never been so rewarding thanks to the fine quality of this Jaguar. With its high performance motor and elegant white exterior, this XK140's next owner will surely experience many happy miles of motoring.
