- UK-supplied, right-hand drive XK140 Drophead Coupe
- Finished in beautiful Pearl Grey with black leather and black hood
- Remaining mostly original, updated with power-steering and improved brakes
- Most recent mechanical works at the Jaguar Heritage workshop in Coventry
- Recently returned from a tour to Greece and back without fault
- Offered directly from a private collection

Offered here is a beautiful home-market Jaguar XK140 Drophead Coupe carefully sourced by our private vendor 15 years ago to become part of his collection. Over the years, this classic Jaguar has been used regularly attending exclusive classic car events and used for road trips through Europe, most recently completing a trip to Greece and back without missing a beat.

According to the Heritage Certificate on file, #807461DN was manufactured in September 1956 and supplied new to the UK in right-hand drive and finished in Pearl Grey with a red interior and black hood. Pleasingly, the car today still wears its original coat of this rarely seen hue and our vendor informs us that the vehicle remains matching numbers.

It's accompanied by its history file which contains a copy of the aforementioned Jaguar Heritage Certificate, old registration papers, old MOTs, sales invoices showing brake and power steering upgrades, a wealth of invoices for maintenance including service paperwork from the Jaguar Heritage workshops and its current V5C.

Having been enjoyed regularly, this glorious ‘50s XK is absolutely on-the-button and has the unmistakeable presence of a genuine British classic sports car. Some careful detailing could bring this example up to the next level, however, lovely wholesome, regularly used XKs like this rarely come to market and makes a nice change from the split-pin newly restored cars or restoration projects we often see.
