Jaguar XK140 FHC RHD 1956 for sale

Here we have everything you could want in a Jaguar XK140 fixedhead. Original right hand drive and all matching number and in fantastic condition. This is a very smart car in signal red, with a dark red interier and on chrome wire wheels. The interior benefits from bucket seats, inertia seatbelts, an uprated heater and a motolita steering wheel. We have known this car for a number of years having looked after it for a previous owner who had us undertake extensive mechanical work in order to use the car for touring and light rallying.

Mechanically this is a superb and very standard car featuring the very desirable overdrive gearbox. This XK has had an alternator, Kenlowe electric fan and a header tank so there is no chance of electrical issues or overheating. The addition of polyurothane suspension and Vredestine radial tyres makes this a very drivable car.
