This is a 1955 Jaguar XK140 Open Two Seater (OTS) that has been
completely restored and has hardly been driven since completion.
The car is finished in a rich Maroon with a very nice and
complementary Black leather interior and a brand new Black
convertible top with removable canvas and plastic side curtains .
Overall, this is a beautiful car that runs and drives exceptionally
well.
This 1955 Jaguar XK140 OTS has the original drive train (numbers
matching) 3.4 liter six cylinder engine coupled to the original 4
speed gearbox. This car is also equipped with standard disc wheels
and spats (fender skirts) over the rear wheel opening. The car was
frame off restored and it was done beautifully. The paint color is
a really nice shade of maroon with a beautifully restored leather
interior; the canvas top was also done with the proper materials.
The chrome was restored to a high standard and the engine bay was
painted with the same color of the car; as it should. The underside
looks great (see pictures) and has a stainless steel exhaust
system. Car was restored around 2008 and has been kept in a dry,
heated garage since.
This is a wonderful return to the 1950's when British sports cars
were the envy of the world. This specific example is in outstanding
condition and could be driven everyday if desired and if in the
right climate. The engine has plenty of power and has great oil
pressure, the gear box is smooth and overall, it is just a joy to
drive.
Low, Curved and Exciting, the bodywork of the XK Series created a
sensation when announced in 1948. The engine - a six cylinder -
rivaled the big American V8's of the time. Jaguar was center stage
at the Winners Circle taking several Le Mans victories. From 1954
until 1957, 3,350 of the roadster were built with all but 49 bound
for export; this particular car was delivered to Max Hoffmann, the
Jaguar disributor in New York.
More expensive ($4,500 cost) than their British rivals, MG,
Triumph, Austin Healey and Lotus, the Jaguar sold very well due to
style, performance and on-track prowess.
You can be sure that when taken out for special occasions, this car
will get more than her fair share of attention. If you are a
serious Jaguar collector or if this is the time for you to acquire
your first classic Jaguar, then this is a car that you can not
afford to let pass you by.
