Sellers description:
The car has mostly sat since 1995 but was given a service approximately 3 years ago and currently runs. This is a numbers-matching example, this example is powered by its factory 3.4-liter DOHC straight-six and 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. It is sold with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, documentation covering the last 50 years, spare parts, and a clean title.
This XK140 retains its original British Racing Green color. This car has always been garaged. The car has spent all but five years of its life in California.
All four wire wheels have been balanced and trued, Koni shocks were installed, Michelin X radials still hold air. Over the years the dual exhaust mufflers were replaced, the exhaust tips were chrome-plated, and the brakes remain in strong condition with silicone DOT-5 fluid.
The interior is original down to the factory carpeting, and leather upholstery shows several tears. The original headliner is in good shape.
All instrumentation is functional aside from the clock.
Under the hood, this XK retains its numbers-matching 3.4 liter DOHC straight-six and 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The factory air cleaner will be included, and the previous owner notes that during his ownership the SU carburetors have been rebuilt several times, the starter and generator brushes were replaced, around 1967 the valves were replaced and the head was resurfaced, and more recently the mechanical SU fuel pump was replaced with an electronic SU unit. The fuel tank was replaced several years ago and the radiator was removed, re-cored, and cleaned years ago.
A Jaguar Heritage Certificate is included with the sale.
Additional documentation consists of hand-written maintenance and fuel consumption logs since 1967, nearly 50 years of sales receipts, all original Jaguar shop and parts manuals, and numerous Jaguar books.
The OEM Jaguar tool set sits in a new pouch roll, and extra Jaguar tools are also included. Spares consist of the factory windscreen washer and jar, original air cleaner, side mirrors, a car cover, unused tire chains.
