Belgian title
Chassis No S812781DN

- High quality restoration

Owned by a collector from Seattle in the United States around the 2000s, this XK 140 Roadster reached Belgium in 2003, before joining our collection. It was then white with black interior but had the benefit of being equipped with its original engine block and an overdrive, a very popular option.
Like all cars in this collection, it has been restored in order to regain all its glory and have the ability to be used regularly. Over three years of work was required for the restoration and today, this roadster is presented in a beautiful sky-blue paint, enhanced by chrome wire wheels. The black leather interior is slightly patinated, demonstrating its careful use. Like all of our collector's cars, it is fitted with cigarette lighters under the dashboard to keep an electronic device charged. Furthermore, it is equipped with an aluminium radiator and additional fans, in order to guarantee a smooth drive. A standard service was carried out in June 2022 at the MV Classic Car garage.
With a past restoration that has remarkably withstood the test of time, its original engine block and the original overdrive, this XK 140 roadster will delight those who know how to take advantage of the charm from a wonderful English sports car.
