One of only 479 right-hand drive XK140 drophead coupés made, this example was built in December 1955 and has had four owners since 1979. Between 1992 and 1997, a 'body off' restoration was carried out by P&K Thornton (invoices on file) and then in 2005 the XK was purchased by the current owner from marque specialists JD Classics. In 2010 the car was repainted and fitted with a new hood, tonneau cover and Ford MT75 five-speed manual gearbox by Twyford Moors (original Moss 'box with car). Additional noteworthy upgrades include front disc brakes, negative earth electrics, an alternator, and coil-assisted rear dampers, all fitted by JD Classics.

Since 2010, the XK has been regularly serviced by K&N Classic Cars and also benefits from an engine rebuild undertaken by Sigma Engineering in 2013. Finished in Birch Grey with red leather interior, this well maintained and extensively upgraded XK140 is offered with an old-style logbook, V5C registration document and the aforementioned restoration invoices.
