One of the prettiest cars ever built and surely one that will do
nothing but go up up up in value. This car was restored
approximately 8 years ago and it looks amazing. the leather is
fantastic and the paint straight and very glossy. Bright work is
all nice dash is clean and polished. Note this 140 has the Special
Equipment option so it has the very rare "C" type head with other
performance enhancements as well. When we acquired this car, the
engine was stuck. Our mechanic dropped the oil pan, inspected
everything, and with some gentle persuasion, we were able to free
the engine and get it running. It starts easily, holds very good
oil pressure and shows no indication of overheating. In the course
of getting it running we also installed a new fuel tank and fuel
pump. Initially on starting up, it smoked quite a bit but that has
all but disappeared. The next owner may find the engine's condition
quite acceptable as is or given that it was stuck wish to undertake
an overhaul, something our shop can negotiate as part of the sale.
Either way, here is a great example of an XK-140 coupe still
running its original "C" type engine. To discuss further please
