Jaguar XK (1957)
for sale

Price: US $200.00

Description:

In 1956 the XK140 became the first Jaguar sports car to be offered with automatic transmission. As with the XK120, wire wheels and dual exhausts were options, and most XK140s imported into the United States had wire wheels. Cars with the standard disc wheels had spats (fender skirts) over the rear wheel opening. The Drophead Coupé (DHC) had a bulkier lined canvas top that lowered onto the body behind the seats, a fixed windscreen integral with the body (the Roadster's screen was removable), wind-up side windows, and a small rear seat. It also had a walnut-veneered dashboard and door cappings. All gauges were rebuilt, mechanical's, engine and Transmission rebuilt along with a new interior and hood By MotorCraft all records are available. When I purchased the car 30 years ago it had just been through a complete body restoration along with frenching the rear fenders (no welting) and I didn't have the heart to tear it apart. As a matter of fact it looks good and I have entered it in car shows, as a driven class car. This car was featured in Bloomberg magazine for automotive investing also as a prop for many advertising shoots.The car is starting to show it's age the paint has some cracking and crazing and could use some refreshing there is 887 miles on the speedometer This year this was the featured car on the poster of Cats in the Garden presented by the Jaguar touring clubs annual show in Montclair, NJ. However this car has all matching numbers and is certified by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust with a Production Record Trace Certificate. I have set the price on this car based on the Hagerty price guide #3 to #4. Ask questions. good luck. ....Ken
