Description:
- Very original and honest example of XK140
- One of just 839 FHC’s made in RHD
- Registration document records just 3 owners from new
- UK RHD matching numbers example
- Finished in desirable ‘Racing Green’
On the Surface: This 1955 Jaguar XK140 Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) is a very original example, finished in the stunning racing green. It is one of just 839 XK140 FHCs made in right-hand drive, making it a rare find. The vehicle has had only three owners from new and has been in the vendor’s possession for nearly 10 years. This particular model represents a minimal number of XK140 FHCs currently registered for use on UK roads today.
Maintenance & History: The car comes with a comprehensive history file, including invoices, old tax discs, MOTs, magazine cutouts, the original green registration document and the heritage certificate. Invoices in the file amount to over £5,000, demonstrating a significant investment in its upkeep. The earliest MOT dates back to 1989, showcasing a long history of careful maintenance.
