• Delivered new to France • Unique Michelotti aluminium coachwork and believed one of his first designs • Ultra-rare C-Type engine, originally fitted to chassis 'XKC016' • Previously owned by French Jaguar Drivers' Club President, Roland Urban Chassis number 'S814286' was built on 25th May 1955 as a left-hand drive XK140 SE Coupé with normal factory coachwork.
The Jaguar was delivered new in France via the French distributor, Charles Delecroix, to its first lady owner, Mme Jeanne Gaymard in Paris.
It is the 286th left-hand drive coupé built, with body number 'J4457'.
The original colour scheme was cream with two-tone blue interior.
In 1957 the car had an accident that damaged much of the body.
As the original body was beyond repair, the XK was sent to the famous Italian coachbuilder, Giovanni Michelotti, to be re-bodied with one of his bespoke designs.
Michelotti is said to have designed three bodies for XK140s around this time; all three are different, making this car unique.
