Description

PEMEANT AUTOMOBILES is proud to present an exceptional piece—an unmistakable symbol of British elegance and craftsmanship:
Jaguar XK140 3. 4 L - Special Equipment (SE).

Key features:
- 6-cylinder inline engine - 3400 cc - 210 hp - 20 CV
- 5-speed automatic gearbox
- Exterior: Black
- Interior: Bordeaux Red
- Mileage: 11, 300 km
- Chassis number: S811591

Built in the proud tradition of XK models, this SE version captures the very essence of late-1950s grand touring—combining absolute refinement with a sporting identity directly inherited from racing.
Our example benefits from a 5-speed gearbox, adding even more driveability and versatility for contemporary use, without compromising the character of the original.

Overall condition:
For a 1960 vehicle, this Jaguar presents in superb overall condition, both inside and out. Its elegant, timeless specification perfectly highlights the model’s iconic lines.

Exterior:
You can see a few very light signs of wear, which is entirely normal for a car of over 66 years. The black paintwork retains its full depth and beautifully showcases the bodywork under the light.

Interior:
The cabin is in excellent preserved condition. The red leather seats show no rips or tears, although a few wear marks—consistent with the vehicle’s age—can be noted. The black hood (hood/ roof) is also in superb condition.

Mechanical:
Beneath its long bonnet with those iconic proportions sits the legendary 3. 4L inline-six, producing 210 hp—enhanced by the highly sought-after Type C cylinder head (C-Type), directly descended from the victorious Jaguars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Mechanically, the car runs perfectly. It also benefits from several improvements, including a high-performance cylinder head, uprated/ stronger suspension and electronic ignition—ensuring both reliability and enjoyable driving.

Sales terms:
- MOT/ roadworthiness inspection for sale
- 6-month warranty (extension possible)
- Viewing strictly by appointment only
- Test drive by appointment
- Over 50 photos available on request
