The car has 56,934 actual,documented miles from new. I am the second owner, and have owned for almost thirty years. The car has a fully complete toolkit with spare bulbs, brake bleeder, jacket w/ratchet, original "Dunlop Road Speed-whitewall tyre" Five Borrani-italian wire wheels. It has Alfin brake drums,factory fog lights with 4 position switch. It has a battery master switch....Lucas , that was dealer installed to cut off both batteries. It has the original owner's manual,and shop manual. It also has three sets of original keys, with one gold plated very worn "winged key". It also has a two toned, old biscuit...piped insuede green interior with suede green rugs. it has both "T" handles,all leather tabs on the covers.....no radio, dual fender mirrors, and original Amber-Lucas taillight lenses, not red. It is not a "known car" not shown,and simply enjoyed by me and my family.... although probably within the top ten, most completely original 140's in existance. It has benefitted from routine maintainance throughout is life and is not for sale. I feel it deserves the respect of being recognised, most especially due to its very rare options and survivorship.

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?
