Seller's comments about 1956' Jaguar Xk140
1956 JAGUAR XK140SE FIXED HEAD COUPE (manual with overdrive)
Finished in old English white with full red leather trim, walnut wood dash/ door cappings. 6 former keepers over 61 years and from 1956-1985 the car lived in the sunny climate of Cyprus. The car then lived in the UK for many years in the same ownership. A Jag Heritage Cert number 22688 confirms: year of manufacture; Numbers matching; rhd UK market; manual overdrive; o/ e/ white red leather. Confirmation the car was exported in rhd format to dealership Tseriotis Nicosia, Cyprus 10/ 12/ 1956. We can confirm the engine, chassis, body, gearbox numbers are matching. A new speedo was fitted at 21000 miles now showing 63, 000 miles making a total mileage of 84000 miles in 61 years. Fitted with badge bar/ badges, spotlights, Jag emblemed headlights, disc wheels with rim embellishers/ Jag hubcaps with wheel spats at the rear, roof aerial, full red leather, full walnut trim, private reg VSJ 539, seatbelts front/ rear, locking petrol cap, full toolkit, ashtrays, tinted glass sun visors, chrome handbrake, door mirror, overdrive, over riders, remote control radio/ hi-fi stereo with multi disc changer and speakers nicely secreted from view. Two large history folders incl current V5, photo images, valuation certs, previous MoT certs from 1985, MoT related doc/ folders, previous tax discs/ holders, Jag Owners Club mags, XK Club reports/ valuations x 7, Club info, invoices totalling £70k, correspondence, broadspeed/ mobility tuning info, wiring diagram, Motorshow/ Show attendance certificates, Coventry auto comps, panels catalogue, Jag lube chart, original Handbook, XK Drivers handbook, BAS Int interior book, XK gazette Motoring Magazines/ guides, Barratt parts manual, Classic mags, XK parts manual and spare keys. A rare example of an original car, restored, well cared for and maintained (sale due to owners demise). Few cars still exist with the rear wheel spats which we think makes the car very attractive and gives it a stylish Art deco vibe.
This beautiful British Sports Coupe is in the best colour scheme possible and is a real head turner.
