This 1956 Jaguar XK140 Drophead Coupe, painted in Old English White, exemplifies British automotive craftsmanship. A production record trace certificate accompanies this XK140, confirming its authentic heritage. The sleek body lines flow gracefully from the iconic Jaguar grille to the sculpted rear, accentuated by chrome bumpers and wire wheels wrapped in 6.00-R16 97Q tires. The tan cloth convertible top provides versatility, allowing open-air cruising or enclosed comfort.
Inside, the tan leather interior exudes luxury. Bucket seats with a floor-mounted shifter offer a driver-focused layout. The Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel adds a touch of sportiness while maintaining the classic aesthetic. Custom floor mats protect the carpeting, blending practicality with style. The simple yet elegant dashboard houses essential gauges, keeping the driver informed without unnecessary clutter.
The 3.4-liter inline-six engine matches the data tag and Production Record Trace certificate. This powerplant breathes through twin SU carburetors, delivering smooth acceleration. The four-speed manual transmission, numbered JL34422CR, also aligns with the vehicle's documentation. Performance upgrades include Wilwood front disc brakes for improved stopping power, electric power steering for effortless maneuvering, and an electric cooling fan with an updated radiator to maintain optimal operating temperatures. The dual exhaust system provides a fitting soundtrack for this classic Jaguar.
