Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This Jaguar XK140 FHC has undergone a meticulous six-year, nut-and-bolt restoration since 2007, featuring numerous upgrades and a professional respray in its original Birch Grey. The car has seen minimal use since restoration and has recently had significant engine work, though it is still in its running-in period with slight smoking noted.
Condition
8
The car has undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration with specialist involvement, including a professional re-trim, respray, and significant mechanical updates (new steering rack, rebuilt carburettors, gearbox rebuild, new piston rings, and cylinder head work). While the vendor advises it's still running in and smoking slightly due to missing oil seals, the overall condition post-restoration, with extensive documentation and recent major mechanical attention, aligns with an 'Excellent' rating.

This beautiful Jaguar XK140 FHC has been owned by the vendor since 2007.
He purchased it as a project from an owner on Jersey and embarked on a six-year, nut-and-bolt restoration, with involvement from many specialists.
This included a professional leather re-trim, new rear springs and gaiters, high-torque starter motor, XK150 front discs, all-new burr walnut veneer a twin stainless exhaust system, and a respray in the car's original shade of Birch Grey.
Since then the car has remained in the vendor's collection of XKs and seen little use.
Ongoing refurbishments have included a new steering rack (2019), carburettor rebuilding (2021) and a gearbox rebuild by Klassik Transmission.
Within the last 300 miles it has also received new piston rings, and the cylinder head has been rebuilt with C-type big valves.
The car was driven to our sale, but the vendor advises that the engine is still running in, and it is smoking slightly due to the inlet valve oil seals not being fitted.
