About this car

This 1956 Jaguar XK140 SE Drophead Coupe is a left-hand-drive car that was supplied new to an owner on Long Island, New York. It left the factory in Cream with red trim and a black hood, and the SE specification pairs the 3.4-litre straight-six with the car's more sporting equipment.

It returned to the UK in 2006 and went through a full nut-and-bolt restoration. It was repainted in British Racing Green and retrimmed in light green leather by Suffolk and Turley, with a green mohair hood and green carpets.

The car has several modern upgrades for touring: disc brakes, a five-speed ZF gearbox, and an aluminium radiator with electric cooling fans. The page quotes 1,000 miles and gives no price.
