Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1957 Jaguar XK140 SE Roadster, one of only 43 delivered to the UK, has a known ownership history and was re-commissioned between 2012-2020. Featuring a C-type cylinder head, it was restored in the past with a color change to Old English White with Red interior and benefits from mechanical overhauls and cosmetic improvements.
Condition
6
The car presents well after a recommissioning between 2012 and 2020. The bodywork has been resprayed, dents and scratches repaired, and some over-riders re-chromed. Mechanically, the engine and gearbox were stripped and rebuilt previously. There is evidence of regular maintenance and care, with receipts and MoT certificates on file. However, it isn't pristine due to the older restoration and modification of a Kenlowe electric cooling fan.
