Description
Capots Vintage, specialist in classic sports cars in Lyon, offers for sale a 1955 Jaguar XK140 Roadster MC: We are pleased to present a magnificent Jaguar XK140 Roadster, which left the factory in November 1954. Sporting an elegant original red colour and black leather interior, it is entirely in keeping with its period configuration (matching colours). This model is fitted with the Type C cylinder head, an original option, and its 3. 4L 6-cylinder engine block, both certified matching numbers thanks to Jaguar Heritage. Fully restored 20 years ago, this XK140 benefited from a complete overhaul: bodywork, mechanical parts, running gear and braking system. Since then, the engine has covered just 16, 000 km. Improvements include disc brakes with 4-piston callipers, a high-performance starter motor, a modern alternator and a stainless steel exhaust system. It has been with the same owner for 18 years and has always been carefully maintained by specialists, as evidenced by its full file of invoices. The car is in perfect general condition with no costs to be expected. We have all the documents relating to the restoration, the maintenance invoices and the original manual. The car is delivered with its original equipment: soft top and sidescreens. Possible trade-in for your sports car or collector's car.
