Auction description:
1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster
No Reserve

Registration No: 915 UXN
Chassis No: 812334
MOT: Exempt

Current family ownership since 1989 and previously resident in Kansas, USA
Matching chassis, engine, body and gearbox numbers
Partially restored with work done to the chassis and cylinder head etc but requires completion

Built to left-hand drive specification during late 1956, chassis 812334 was supplied new to America. Seemingly belonging to Chester Oszman of Kansas City from 1967 until shortly before entering the current family ownership in 1989, the Jaguar was remarkably original when it landed on these shores and thus able to boast matching chassis, engine, body and gearbox numbers. Disassembled as part of a restoration that has yet to be completed, much work went into the chassis and cylinder head before the project stalled. UK road registered as ‘915 UXN’ on 28th June 2005, the XK140 appears to retain its original Red leather upholstery plus a hood, tonneau and sidescreens. Surely worthy of bringing back to its former glory, this appealing Roadster is offered for sale with UK V5C (Blue) Registration Document, Bill of Sale and sundry paperwork.
