Spotted in the auto trader, June, 2007. Ad reads:

"1955 JAGUAR XK 140, The XK 140 drop head coupe is in our opinion, the prettiest and most user friendly of all of the XK Jags. It offers superb performance, magnificent looks and creature comforts not found on the roadsters. This 140 drop head coupe was the subject of an exacting ground up nut and bolt restoration that was just completed. Each and every component of the car was rebuilt and restored prior to the cars final assembly. It is a matching number car still retaining its original engine block as well as its original numbers matching head. The exterior is finished in red with chrome wire wheels and tan cloth convertible top. The interior is upholstered in tan leather with gorgeous woodwork and Wilton wool carpets. Complete with an owners manual and a rare and desirable original tool roll. This is a fabulous restoration on what many jaguar enthusiasts consider to be the most desirable of all XK Jags. Engine number G 4055-8 Chassis number 817606"
