1955 Jaguar XK140 Fixed Head Coupé – UK RHD – Matching Numbers – Exceptional HistoryRegistration: UDE 800A wonderful opportunity to acquire a remarkably original, UK-supplied, right-hand-drive Jaguar XK140 Fixed Head Coupé, finished in British Racing Green and accompanied by an extensive history archive spanning many decades.One of just 843 right-hand-drive Fixed Head Coupés produced, these elegant Jaguars are considerably rarer than their open counterparts and represent one of the finest British grand touring cars of the 1950s.History and ProvenanceFirst registered in 1955, UDE 800 has survived for over 70 years retaining much of its original character and charm.The first owner is understood to have retained the Jaguar until 1999, an extraordinary period of ownership which undoubtedly contributed to its preservation.The accompanying history archive is particularly impressive and includes:● Original buff registration logbook● Fascinating collection of original historic tax discs● Early registration documents and previous V5s including original buff form● Extensive invoices and correspondence● Historical advertisements and ownership transfer records● Documentation covering previous maintenance and mechanical work● A substantial collection of paperwork accumulated over many decadesThe history file is a wonderful feature of this particular car and provides a fascinating insight into its life.Condition and OriginalityUnlike many XK140s which have undergone extensive restoration, this example retains a wonderfully authentic, largely unrestored appearance. Oily rag i think is the correct termThe British Racing Green paintwork displays an attractive patina acquired over many years, while the interior has the unmistakable charm and character of a car that has been preserved rather than completely renewed.The bodywork presents honestly, with age-related imperfections and areas that would benefit from sympathetic attention. Previous sill repairs are documented.The appeal of this Jaguar lies in its authenticity. It has not been cosmetically over-restored, allowing its next custodian to enjoy its genuine character or undertake improvements as desired.Mechanical ConditionRetaining its matching-numbers engine, the Jaguar runs and drives well, offering strong performance and good oil pressure.The legendary twin-cam XK engine provides effortless performance and a wonderful soundtrack, while the Fixed Head Coupé body offers a refined grand touring experience.As with any largely unrestored 70-year-old motor car, ongoing maintenance and sympathetic improvements should be anticipated.A Rare OpportunityFinding a genuine right-hand-drive XK140 Fixed Head Coupé is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly one retaining such an appealing degree of originality and accompanied by extensive historical documentation.There are plenty of freshly restored concours examples available for significantly more than this one .Instead, UDE 800 offers something arguably more interesting: an honest, characterful and highly original Jaguar XK140 with an extraordinary history .A particularly appealing example for the enthusiast who appreciates originality, provenance and the unmistakable charm of a properly preserved 1950s Jaguar.Viewing welcomed and encouraged.Please contact Historic Motoring Solutions for further information or to arrange an appointment.
