The interior woodwork is highly figured Burr walnut, again in perfect mirror finished order. A burgundy mohair roof completes the ensemble.

The Jaguar XK140 SE DHC sits on chrome wire wheels with knock off spinners. Under the bonnet the Jaguar XK140 SE DHC is detailed to brand new condition and is in show order throughout.
