1955 Jaguar XK140 SE DHC For Sale by Auction
Chassis n° S817580
Engine n° G4090-8S
- Collection of a classic car enthusiast
- SE version, matching engine
- Highly elegant colour scheme
- Extensive work carried out in the past
This Jaguar XK140 cabriolet is an interesting SE version (Special Equipment), with the special option "Type C" cylinder head, providing 210 bhp, and also wire wheels and Lucas spotlights. The car was delivered new on 14 July 1955 by the importer Hoffman in New York, in red with black interior, as confirmed by the Jaguar certificate in the file. The previous owner had acquired the car from a dealer in 2010, it was already grey and described as fully restored in 2001. A collector with high standards, he subsequently had extensive work carried out to make it perfect. The wiring loom had been replaced, the odometer converted to km/ h, the brakes overhauled and a 5-speed Getrag gearbox installed. The car had been given an extensive service by the Classic Garage in Munich in 2012, and the work carried out is recorded in a file of invoices Presented in an elegant shade of metallic grey, with black leather upholstery and matching carpets, as well as fine woodwork that goes well with the Moto-Lita aluminium and wood steering wheel, this convertible is in beautiful condition. Both the black soft-top and the soft-top cover are in excellent condition. This beautiful car, with an odometer reading of less than 6, 950 km and its original engine with the original cylinder head, has undoubtedly benefited from a careful restoration from a few years ago. In this pleasant convertible version with a C-type cylinder head, this is a car for those who want to combine sportiness, elegance and versatility.
The vehicles in this collection have been stored in perfect conditions but little used over the past few years. We therefore advise buyers that they are sold 'as is', some of them without a safety inspection ('contrôle technique', 'MOT' ), and should be given a general service before being driven any distance.
