VIN S 812824 DN

This Jaguar XK140 OTS (open two-seater) is a 1950s sports car, benefiting from an extensive prior restoration. 

Under the bonnet is the 191PS 3.4-litre DOHC straight-six, coupled to a four-speed manual transmission. 

Manufactured in September 1956, it was sold new by the RM Overseas dealer in Dusseldorf, Delaware, USA.

The car was restored in the USA in the 1980s, before being exported to Sweden in 1995, and subsequently to Finland in 2003.

It benefited from an extensive renovation by Grips Garage in 2018, and has reportedly covered less than 500 km since the work was completed. 

The odometer shows 33,289 km, though this is not warranted.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

This XK140 is finished in cream, with chrome bumpers and body trims, and a dark brown leather bonnet strap. 

It rides on dark brown multi-spoke wire wheels with two-eared spinners and whitewall tyres. 

The cabin is trimmed in brown leather, and also features a black four-spoke steering wheel and a set of wind deflectors. 

Accompanying the vehicle will be its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, a historic vehicle certificate, a collection of invoices from Grips Garage, and a soft-top roof and frame.  

CONDITION

Specific notes from the seller include: small patina, marks of use, cracks, chips in the paints and small wear and tear in the interior; the soft top that is slightly patinated.

The car is registered as a historic vehicle, and its TÜV is reportedly valid until 2027.

SERVICE HISTORY

The most recent service was performed in October 2023 by Grips Garage. The fuel pumps and fuel lines were cleaned, the transmission oil was checked, and the spark plugs, engine oil and oil filter were changed.

The car was renovated by Grips Garage in 2018, and included refurbishing the carburettor and fuel lines, and replacing the brakes, various steering and suspension components, and the wheels and hubs. The floor pans and door sills were renewed, and the rear wheel arches were refurbished.
