Description
Jaguar XK 140 FHC, year 1956, black colour combined with red leather interior and red carpet. This fabulous Jaguar XK 140 FHC (Fixed Head Coupé) was imported from California (USA) to the Netherlands. The car was registered in 1996, and during the period 2005-2007 the car was extensively restored to perfect condition. The chassis is still very clean, and the bodywork shows a splendid panel fit and beautiful paintwork. The interior is largely original with original leather upholstery, the dashboard has been restored and the carpet renewed. The car features special details on the outside, such as the solid 15-inch chrome-spoke wheels, the special mesh grille and the large Lucas SLR 700 headlamps.
This very special XK 140 is powered by a 265 bhp 4. 2-litre XK engine with three S. U. carburettors, a fully synchronised 4-speed gearbox with overdrive, more modern ventilated disc brakes on the front wheels and disc brakes on the rear wheels.
The rear axle has a higher gear ratio and a limited slip differential. Cooling was improved and an extra-large fuel tank was fitted. On starting the engine, it becomes immediately clear that this is a serious car: the big-bore exhaust system produces a magnificent soundtrack!
