Chassis Number 807093
Year 1953

Model XK140

One of only 480 right hand drive cars produced, this fine example, specified with the high compression motor, was delivered new by Hersham and Walton Motors of Walton on Thames on the 14th May 1955, to a Mr. Arthur Baron. The car later found itself on the south coast of England, where it was sold in 1976 by Auto Service Garage of Bournemouth to a Dutch enthusiast by the name of Mr. Pezie.

The current owner informs us the car has enjoyed a body off restoration to a high standard, and is now presented in excellent condition in all respects. The XK looks stunning in the period combination of Old English White with a Tobacco leather interior.

Supplied with a Heritage Certificate, title document, older UK MoTs and numerous older invoices, this is a truly beautiful example of an iconic sportscar of the 1950s.
