Auction description:

1956 JAGUAR XK 140 SE Roadster

Châssis N° S812844 French registration document

The model presented is midnight blue with a Hermès red interior and beige hood. The serial number with an S tells us that the car left the factory with the very desirable SE option and the type C cylinder head, so it is a must! As for the upholstery, Maison Caribex in Garenne-Colombes took care of redoing everything two years ago. The bodywork has been completely restored and repainted. Various maintenance invoices adorn the file which accompanies the car. Many important parts are new such as the radiator, the grille, the headlights, the front bumper, etc. The technical inspection is blank.

This XK 140 is simply perfect! The XK 140 roadsters are rare cars, examples in very good condition are very difficult to find, the XK 140 roadsters with the SE option and the C cylinder head are impossible to find!
