This 1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster is a beautifully presented example
of one of Jaguar?s most iconic open sports cars. Power comes from
the legendary 3.4L inline 6-cylinder engine, equipped with twin SU
carburetors, delivering smooth, period-correct performance through
a 4-speed manual transmission.Finished in its factory-correct red
exterior, the car is complemented by a stunning Connolly leather
interior in Biscuit, offering timeless British luxury. Classic

rear-view mirrors mounted on the front fenders, and tan side
curtains, all contributing to its authentic vintage character.The
roadster rides on chromed 48-spoke wire wheels and features a tan
canvas convertible soft top, completing its elegant open-air
presentation. Included are the original manuals and a Jaguar
Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, confirming matching body,
engine, and gearbox.Mechanically, the car has seen recent attention
with new front and rear brake drums, along with a new clutch and
new transmission bearings and seals. It has been driven less than

classic and custom vehicles. We have more than 200 vehicles in our
collection and have sold dozens nationwide and even overseas. We
recommend that all buyers who are unable to view a vehicle in
person have a pre-purchase inspection done prior to purchase.
Inspections can be performed by an independent party selected by
the buyer. Due to the age and uniqueness of these special vehicles,
it is difficult to cover all aspects and characteristics of each
vehicle?s condition within the limited space available. Thus,
pre-purchase inspections are helpful to all parties involved. The
information provided for this vehicle is presented to the best of
our knowledge, and is deemed reliable. But MAXmotive does not
warrant or guarantee this information as a basis for purchase. It
is the responsibility of the buyer to make a thorough inspection to
determine the suitability of the vehicle prior to purchase
