Lot details Registration No: 888 ETW Chassis No: S804451D-N Mot Expiry: Aug 2005
This Jaguar late entry, which missed our catalogue print deadline, purports to be a really fine example of the XK140 as will be confirmed by your detailed inspection here today. For the fixed head, which first left the Browns Lane works in Coventry in 1955, is claimed to be an all numbers matching motor car which reportedly cost £44,600 when acquired at auction during the 1990s. Indeed, such was its fine condition that the right-hand drive coupe was awarded a third place overall in the XK Day Concours, there being the Concours certificate confirming this in the documents file.
Having been driven sparingly in recent years, though carefully preserved in dry storage, 888 ETW has been recently recommissioned by leading marque specialists Lynx. As a result, chassis, body panels, black paintwork, beige leather interior, all correct 3442cc six-cylinder XK motor and manual gearbox with overdrive as well as electrical equipment are all currently rated as being in excellent condition. The latest MOT certificate for this truly stunning motor car will be valid until August. XK140s do not come much better than this one.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
