    This example we understand spent most of its life abroad which is supported by the sound condition of the body. The engine is running but no MOT has been sought. The body requires a re-spray and the interior is tidy although we understand that the front seats have been replaced at some stage. This presents a rare opportunity to acquire a British sports car at a very realistic estimate. It has a V5 but no current MOT.

    The right-hand drive XK140 now being sold is a Fixed Head Coupe built on September 13th 1955 and first registered to somebody in the Glasgow area a couple of weeks later. It sports California Sage Green bodywork while the interior is trimmed in Old Beige leather. The Jaguar apparently spent most of its life in South Africa before being repatriated during 2001. It has been partly renovated over the last 10 years and simultaneously upgraded to 'fast road' specification with: disc brakes all round; independent rear suspension; anti tramp bars; individual front seats and a Le Mans-style filler cap. The XK comes complete with original registration number - 'MVA 250' - and an MOT into March next year.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
