Exterior: This particular Jaguar XK140 is finished in a striking maroon, beautifully complemented by a beige soft top. The car underwent a meticulous restoration around 2019, showcasing flawless bodywork with perfectly aligned panels and even gaps. You will have to look for a long time to find a Jaguar XK140 with better body work than this car. The maroon paintwork gleams in sunlight, giving the vehicle a vibrant, dynamic appearance. The soft top is secured with three buckles and easily folds down, transforming the vehicle into a classic open tourer. Every chrome detail, from the trim to the emblems, has been replaced or restored to the highest standard, enhancing the car's overall appearance. The Jaguar rides on new chrome spoke wheels fitted with Michelin Pilote X tires, regarded as the premier choice for classic cars of this era. Importantly, the undercarriage is just as immaculate as the exterior.
Interior: The cabin of this 1955 Jaguar XK140 is a testament to its high-quality restoration. The interior features new walnut wood panels, and the beige leather seats and door panels are beautifully matched with top-quality beige carpeting. The spacious cockpit ensures comfort for even taller drivers, while the Smiths instruments are elegantly arranged in the center of the dashboard. On warmer days, the side vents provide refreshing airflow to the footwells, adding to the car’s usability.
