1956 JAGUAR XK140 OTS 'ROADSTER' - FOR AUCTION 11TH MARCH For Sale by Auction
Registration Number: UK taxes paid
Chassis Number: S812776
Recorded Mileage: n/ a
- Desirable SE specification with C-Type cylinder head
- For full restoration
Chassis S812776, an XK140 Roadster to SE specification, was exported new to the United States in 1956, by the 1960s residing in Louisiana. By then painted in "Candy Apple Red", we understand that the car was owned by a Mr. Bruce Applegarth. Mr. Applegarth was the boyfriend and later husband of Carol Applegarth (nee Fagot), one of four daughters of notorious New Orleans lawyer Leonard Fagot. Fagot, an obsessive and domineering father, was later accused of murdering two of his son-in-laws, documented in the 1993 American television film Deadly Relations.
The Jaguar stayed in the Louisiana area, at some point gaining a distinctive psychedelic metal flake lilac-coloured paint job, presumably applied by the then owner, a student at Louisiana State University in New Orleans. The car appears to have been last on the road in 1973, later to be laid up for many years before being acquired by our vendor in 2014, and imported into the UK.
A candidate for comprehensive restoration, the XK is now clearly in need of major work. However the car does appear to be complete, and is offered with its original C-Type and later replacement cylinder heads. The Jaguar will be supplied with a U. S. title document, previous bill of sale and UK customs clearance papers.
This motor vehicle will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees in Frome, Somerset, on Saturday 11th March 2023. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
