Seller's description:

Price: £145,000

1956 Jaguar XK140MC Special Equipment OTS RHD

Chassis Number: S812408

Registration Number: WAF560 (To be retained by Owner.)

Nut & bolt restored 5 years ago to as new. Since then the car has covered just over 1000 miles per year bringing the total up to 6431 miles since restoration. The works undertaken are needless to say extensive to say the least & include the following:

Total body off restoration to the specification of business owner for personal use as fast tourer

Converted to Right hand Drive

Chassis blasted and powder coated

All chassis components blasted and plated

Suspension re-bushed etc

Disc brakes to front

Power steering installed

All new wiring harness

New spoked wheels in body colour pacific blue

Bodywork blasted to bare metal, repaired when necessary 

Sprayed with jaguar pacific blue colour

Under bonnet panels replaced where necessary.

Engine rebuilt and fitted with new alternator and starter

New Guy Broad 5 speed box fitted

Radiator re cored

Electric fan and guy broad multi blade fan fitted

Stainless exhaust

All new interior with Bucket seats

New Mohair hood and tonneau in matching blue

All chrome either re plated (by Derby plating) or replaced with new.

All switches replaced.

I believe this car is probably one of the best available and a pleasure to drive with the sensible modifications. The car simply put wants for nothing. Far more has been spent upon it then the asking price & it is totally sorted & a wonderful car to drive with no rattles or creaks whatsoever; a testament to the quality of the restoration.

The car is finished in Jaguar Pacific Blue with a tan interior.
