1956 Jaguar XK140 coupe that is a nice weekend driver. The car is silver with red interior, very appealing color combination. The paint is shiny and interior is presentable. The car has a very desirable manual transmission with a working overdrive. It's a California car with a solid undercarriage. A good running and driving XK140 for $47,500.
