1955 JAGUAR XK140 RARE UK RHD
* Car starts & drives , engine sounds as it should be.
* Good oil pressure
* Heritage Cetificate
* Good History File
Originally delivered to Jaguar dealerships, Bellamys, Originally supplied in Dove Grey, it is now offered in Old English White and, although the current paintwork is not perfect, ( definitely presentable if buyer wants to use as it is ) it starts on the button, ( grate oil pressure) runs well and offering plenty of scope for improvement. The contrasting biscuit leather interior is in relatively good order with matching carpets and wood cappings and dash, also sound. This example had its carburettors stripped, rebuilt and tuned in 1994 followed by an unleaded cylinder head fitted in 2001 not to mention a number of additional modifications such as a leather bonnet strap and twin Lucas front fog lights contributing to its sporting credentials. Unusually, it still sits on original pressed steel wheels with aluminium hubcaps and centre-screw Jaguar spinners. The period longwave radio still remains in-situ alongside a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, a V5C document and an extensive file of bills and invoices as well as both doors boot that all lock, as required, and a stainless-steel exhaust running from manifold to tips. A handsome car, well-priced.
