According to Anders Clausagers' excellent book XK 140/150 in Detail this was the only 140 made available to the Press in 1955. In 1962 it was registered XK 1 (which number later appeared on 150 Rdstr 82092 and 120 Rdstr 660646) Where is it now ??

Sellers description:
1955 Jaguar XK-140 Fixed Head Coupe with Right Hand Drive. How many right hand drive XK's have you seen up for auction? This specific coupe has the numbers matching "C" type head, dual exhaust, and wire wheels. The "S" before the chassis number denotes the Special Equipment package that not all XK-140's had. This car also came with overdrive as non-overdrive XK's had a prefix of either "JL" or "SL". This car has the prefix on the gearbox of JLE denoting overdrive. This car, with engine number G-3194-8S also has the upgraded oil pump (C8610/1) and modified chain tensioner. As you will see in the pictures, this engine has the numbers matching "C" type head stamped G-3194-8S. The 8 denoting the 8:1 compression ratio. This car has been in storage in a dry climate for over 40 years. This car is clean and complete with virtually no rust issues. We have not disturbed or tested any of the mechanics of the car. This car has not been modified or torn apart to where you need to start looking for important parts. This is very helpful during a restoration due to the rarity of some of the parts. This is especially true for a Right Hand Drive car.
