Jaguar Demo Video     Jaguar Outside Starting Video     Jaguar Drive Up Video     Jaguar Conclusion Video       Up for bid is a stunning example of a 1956 Jaguar XK 140 Roadster in beautiful condition throughout. This is the rarer example with the factory skirts and disk wheels as most were imported without skirts and wire wheels. I purchased this car from a person I knew who owned this car since 1979 and pampered this great example for years then did a ground up restoration in and out on this strait original example. This was the love of his life and was his only classic car and was very wealthy that money was no object at the time and did what was needed without thought of cost. This is a numbers matching fine example with beautiful stunning paint throughout in the original factory maroon color with tan leather and correct tan top. As you can see from the pictures this car is strait as an arrow with no signs of body work or imperfections. The chrome and all the details are beautiful as well and the car has only been driven 3803 miles since everything was done. This car mechanically is like driving a new Jaguar back in the day. The steering is so tight and nimble its like power steering, you have to drive it and you will fall in love. The engine bay is all detailed and the original porcelain manifolds are just beautiful as is the undercarriage. The trunk is beautiful as well with all the factory tools and jack as you can see and the tires are the correct factory issue and have barley any miles on them. I have the original manual and dealer books as well because he got them from the original owner back in the day. I do not have the side curtains as they were misplaced years ago but they can be had today. The fit and finish is without question as seen in the pictures and if you come and see this car in person it looks even better than the pictures. The photos you are seeing here were taken before a thorough detail was done and was now just completed and is stunning. All the mechanicals are excellent and working except the gas gauge but we have a new one and will install it before the new owner takes delivery. Well I can go on all day but what you have here is one of the most beautiful unmolested Jaguar 140 Roadsters today that you can drive with pleasure and enter it in any high quality show event with pride. I am selling this car a bit below market as I need the room so some one is going to get a wonderful example at a fair price. Best of Luck to all.
