Chassis Number: S814276

Northampton, United Kingdom

Registration Number: Belgium EEC Taxes Paid.

A really nice lightly patinated & very useable XK140 Fixed head coupe. This car has been the recipient of much recent expenditure including an upgrade to disc brakes & the fitting of power steering making the car very easy to drive in modern conditions.

Under the bonnet is a lusty 3.4 Litre twin cam in rude health & benefitting from the more pwerful C type head. It starts readily & makes all the right noises with serious speed available when pressed hard. A Kenlowe fan has sensibly been mounted up front for additional cooling on hot days. Oil pressure is excellent from the rebuilt engine which runs at around 60 degrees

Exterior paint is mid metallic grey which suits the car admirably along with red wire wheels. The red leather interior is in very nice condition having been replaced with new a few years ago as was the headlining & boot liner. Matching red carpets complete the ensemble. All the original burr walmut wood work is in situ with its semi gloss factory finish.

The entire fuel system was redesigned, ensuring optimal fuel delivery and driving pleasure.

Aluminum fuel tank, tank fuel sender, fuel lines and rubber hoses, SU electric fuel pump, two new dual SU carburetors

In 2021, the car found its way to the Netherlands, where it became the property of a passionate car enthusiast.

He undertook an extensive and meticulous restoration to restore the Jaguar to its original splendor.

Thanks to the excellent condition of the body, no welding was necessary and the body was repainted in its current Metallic Grey.

All seals and rubbers were replaced.

The interior was completely redone with high-quality red leather, preserving the timeless luxury of the design.

Interior:

Complete new custom-tailored interior using correct grain leather

New leather seat covers, foam, membranes and frames restored

Door panels, kick panels and rear trim completely reupholstered

Completely restored walnut dash and trim panels

Restored and calibrated original Smiths gauges

Refurbished switches, knobs and control cables

New headliner installed with correct interior lighting

Rear cargo area completely reupholstered with leather straps and board panels

Restored original steering wheel

Door seals and dome lamp installed

The engine, with matching numbers and the code G3282-8S was overhauled during the restoration.

Excellent cooling because of new water pump and extra ventilation on the radiator.

Conversion to front disc brakes, installation of an EZ power steering add to the impressive driving experience.

All in all a lovely car that wants for nothing & is ready for fast touring.
