AI Listing Summary
This 1955 Jaguar XK140 Fixed Head Coupe is a rare right-hand drive model, one of only 839 produced. It features a body-off restoration completed in 2000, a comprehensive history file, and a transferable number plate, making it a highly desirable classic.
Condition
8
The car underwent a body-off restoration in 2000 and has only covered 11,000 miles since. The bodywork was restored and repainted by XK specialists, and the interior was expertly retrimmed. While there are minor blemishes like dulled chrome on the front headlamp surrounds and some crazing on the rear light surrounds, these are not significant enough to drop the rating below 'Excellent'.
