1956 Jaguar XK140
Chassis S 818123 DN
Engine G 6411 8S
Remarkably Original and Just Two Long-Term Owners from New
Desirable High-Performance SE Model in Distinctive Colors
Offered with Extensive Service Records and Purchase Documents
Benefits from a Recommission by CKL Developments in 2021
Retains Matching-Numbers Engine per Accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate
Accompanied by Rare Factory Spare Parts Kit
According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this XK140 was completed on November 9, 1956, finished in Pastel Blue with a red leather interior and equipped with a French Grey soft top. An SE model, its options included the competition-inspired C-Type head, twin exhaust system, wire wheels with knock-offs, and twin fog lights. Sold through Jaguar Cars New York, the car’s first owner was Earl R. Lawson from Rochdale, Massachusetts. Through Jaguar specialist “Doc” Scadron, it was then sold to its second and current owner in 1994.
Never fully restored and retaining a high level of originality, it has formed part of a fabulous collection of Jaguars. Preserving its remarkably original condition, the XK140 was recommissioned in 2021 by marque experts CKL Developments at a cost of approximately £45,000. For the collector searching for a high-performance SE model in original condition, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
