Current bid $11,211 reserve not met, 7 bids 9 days left in auction. 58k miles. Car now said to be in Lafayette, California.

Sellers description:
1957 Jaguar XK140 Roadster with California black license plates and 100% solid original metal. Arguably the most stylish Jaguar model ever produced. Older restoration that still shows well, with Connolly leather seats and carpets in beautiful condition. Always garaged, no accidents or rust history whatsoever, one of the best original-chasis XK Jaguars on the market. Frame is arrow-straight, factory spot welds are all immaculate, every nut and bolt in the undercarriage easy to turn. This car is the epitome of the solid California classic Jaguar. A rare and desirable model in excellent running and driving condition, engine freshly tuned and hitting evening on all cylinders, transmission shifts as it should. No restored Jaguar with metal replaced can ever equal the quality of this original-metal car. The metal from the factory is only original once, and the vast majority of these cars have had rust repairs done to them at some point. Please inspect the undercarriage and note that all the factory workmanship is in original condition, with no welding or signs of rust anywhere.
