Auction description:
"Légende et Passion" Monaco Saturday 10th May 2008
Lot 277
1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster
Registration no: German Registered
Chassis no: S812666
Estimate: €65,000-75,000

This XK 140 - special equipment model - is in good to excellent condition and finished in midnight blue with an excellent grey leather interior. The car was delivered in early 1957 to California, it was later discovered in 1975 in a barn by a Hamburg based hotel owner who bought it on the spot and took it to Germany. The car then underwent a thorough restoration and with its only 2nd. german owner (the vendor) it received a full engine rebuilt in 2006, since when the car has only been driven sparingly in summer. It is described in an expert evidence, dated 20.4.2006, as being in very good condition with a freshly rebuilt engine (running on lead-free petrol) and further restored mechanics and new clutch. This costing of which was in the region of ­15.000. Sitting on chrome wire wheels this elegant Jaguar is registered with historical German number plates and paperwork and ready for immediate use. Surely a pleasure to drive over the coming summer months.
