Description
You are offering for sale this magnificent Jaguar XK140 Roadster matching numbers from 1956, a rare model with only 3, 354 examples produced in this configuration.
It is equipped with an inline six-cylinder engine, two SU carburettors developing 190 bhp, paired with a manual four-speed gearbox with overdrive. It features front disc brakes (CooperCraft four-piston calipers) and rear drum brakes. Its top speed is 210 km/ h. The tyres are high-performance Avon Turbo Steel.
This Jaguar underwent a complete restoration in our workshops in 2013, including the engine, gearbox, differential, bodywork, upholstery, electrical system, chromework, etc. It has been period-corrected to resemble the cars of the era. Thus, a petrol filler cap was added, the front and rear bumpers were removed, and provisions for long-range headlights were installed.
The paint is an original Jaguar period colour, the wires are body-coloured, and the front bonnet is equipped with cooling vents as well as leather safety straps.
The accessories include a tonneau cover, a pair of side screens and a hood.
