Auction description:
1956 Jaguar XK 140 OTS Roadster
Consignment #: 1019
Estimate $90 – 115,000
Sold for $85,800

This 1956 Jaguar XK 140 has been used sparingly since it was modified to be a reliable and comfortable rally and tour car. Recently treated to a body-off restoration and documented with a photo album, the body and paint are finished to the highest standards. A new leather interior with leather bound carpets was also installed at this time. Under the bonnet, a 3.4L engine from a 1959 Mark 1 was selected for reliability and pleasant responsiveness, completely rebuilt and was then coupled with a five speed transmission. A Mallory Unilite distributor has been installed for further reliability, however, the rebuilt original conveys with the car. A new and correct Jaguar dual exhaust was fitted and for further convenience, the electrical system converted to a negative ground so modem electrical equipment can be used.

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?
