Car discovered for sale on mobile.de in the Netherlands thanks to Reno.

Sellers description:
XK 140 FHC 3.4 MC (S814385)

This car was produced in June 1955, exported to the US and licensed probably still in 1956. It was imported in the EU 0n 04-May-2001 by Ron Kox Classics in IJmuiden and sold to Willem Molenaar from Den Iep. Who sold it to he current owner Peter Monnee in Wormerveer.

Peter moved it to his weekend house in the Ardennen (B) where he dismantled it in his workshop for restoration. The car's VIN plate shows chassis number S814385, Body number J 4596, engine number G4612-8S and 4 speed manual gearbox JL 29973 all matching. The car has the desirable C-Type head. And it has Blue Californian license Plates. (540BGF)

Thanks to the Californian climate, the amount of rust holes on this car is minimal, nor did i find any serious accidental damage. It is currently in grey and brown primer but was originally probably Dark Blue with burgundy red leather interior. The mileage is 58.000 on the odometer.

Peter pearlblasted the chassis and powder coated it . Many other suspension parts are also galvanised and treated as Peter has an industrial chrome company. Many new parts and rubbers are already purchased and the chassis is ready for building up. The fueltank is in very good condition and the radiator got a new cooling element in it. Peter left the 3.4 liter engine, the interior and the wood set as is, waiting until he would had more time.

This car is priced at 27.500 Euro.
The car comes with EU import document, CA-Title and Bill of Sale. Enough to license it in any Europan country.
