We can offer a virtual inspection via video chat and help arrange worldwide shipping to your door. We wish you good health, wellness and new driving adventures. We are excited to offer another classic Jaguar sports car. This gorgeous 1955 Jaguar XK140 SE (also known as the XK140 "M") Roadster or OTS (Open Two Seater) was produced on January 21st of 1955 and the date of dispatch was February 10th of 1955. The first owner was The Wilk Corporation of Miami, Florida. This wonderful car was previously restored and it currently wears the original color combination of red with biscuit interior. It is a numbers matching car as per the Jaguar Daimler Trust Heritage certificate. The numbers all match on the frame rail (driver side or left side), engine cylinder head, engine block, body tag on cowl and transmission number. We purchased this stunning Jaguar XK140 from a Jaguar collector client who owned this car for the past 15 years. He did show the car a few times: • Fall of 2007: “Euros at the Fair” in Concord, NC at Auto Fair where is achieved Best in Class. • April 17-19 2009 “The Gathering” Participants Choice Car Show in Shelton, NC where it achieved First in Class.• Spring 2010 “Euros at The Fair” in Concord, NC at Auto Fair where it again achieved Best in Class. • April 17-19 2015 “The Gathering” Participants Choice Car Show in Shelton, NC where it achieved a Third in Class. When we purchased the car it needed to be brought back up to a show/driver condition. We invested over $14,000 in the summer of 2020 to improve this wonderful XK140 Roadster.
