Jaguar XK140 Drophead Coupe

This 1955 XK140 is a right-hand-drive drophead coupe, a rarer body style than the roadster for the UK market, and it was supplied new by the Woodcote Motor Co of Epsom. The dealer describes it as a largely undisturbed survivor, with an original tan leather interior, disc wheels and spats, and paint that shows its age.

The ownership history is short. One keeper had the car from 1974 to 2015, and there has been one since. The dealer says it covered only about 6,000 miles in those fifty years, though the page gives no odometer reading.

Recent work includes a new stainless exhaust, a new clutch and a complete re-wire. A Jaguar Heritage certificate confirms the original specification and colour scheme, and a file of invoices covers recent parts expenditure. The chassis number is 807260. The price has been reduced from £85,000 to £75,000.
