1955 JAGUAR XK140 FHC. 70,343 Miles, Matching Numbers, Running engine. Complete and ready for restoration. I have stored this car inside for the past 20 years. Clear North Carolina in my name in hand. The Coupe was the least produced of the XK140 line, making them now desirable and rare. They are becoming increasingly more difficult to find, especially as complete and un-molested as this example. This car is 99% original, and even includes the Jaguar tool kit, which is usually long lost by now! Engine # G-2230-8 The engine runs well, and has good oil pressure. (I am running it on an auxiliary fuel tank and pump. The fuel tank and lines need cleaning). Services just completed: Cooling system flushed, New Water Pump, Thermostat, Fan belt and Coolant. Points, condenser, rotor replaced. Carburetors rebuilt, new carb insulators. Oil changed (Castrol 20W-50), new oil filter. Gearbox # JL27193 The gearbox shifts and pulls in all gears. Shift knob missing. The Clutch works. Body # J4133 The body is in overall good condition with the typical rust on the door lower edges. The right door has had some minor body repair and the filler has fallen off. The rear fender front doglegs and sills were replaced by an amateur and shows! The inner sills and left battery supports need replacing. The car was originally White, and was painted Navy Blue. All the glass is good. The right window regulator needs replacing. The wheels are in good condition, and the tires hold air. The Interior is complete and all original. The seat slides operate. All wood and trim is intact, and needs restoring. The headliner has a small rip. The sun visors are intact. Most of the Lucas electrical systems work! The car starts with the ignition switch and starter button. The warning lights and gauges work, instrument lighting works, most exterior lights work. Wipers work. The trunk has the Spare Wheel with hold down, Tire tool, Complete tool set, Jack and Grease gun. The tool for opening the spare wheel compartment and package shelf is in place. The chassis is solid, with only light surface rust in some places. The Brake Hydraulics need replacing. The exhaust system needs replacing. Overall this is an excellent car for restoration. It is hard to find a Jaguar XK140 this original, this complete, and running. I have done my best to accurately describe the car. Please don't hesitate to ask questions. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will assist in whatever way necessary.
