Description
1956 Jaguar XK140 DHC (Drop Head Coupé) French vehicle registration document Chassis No.: DN807394 4-speed manual gearbox Mileage: 98,652 miles The 1956 Jaguar XK140 Drophead Coupé (DHC) is one of the most elegant examples of British grand touring from the 1950s. With its refined lines, long, sculpted bonnet and luxurious interior, it offers a rare balance between sportiness and comfort, making it a car that is as pleasing to look at as it is to drive. An evolution of the famous XK120, the XK140 benefits from more sophisticated engineering and a more refined driving experience. Its Jaguar straight-six engine, paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, delivers a smooth and enjoyable drive, perfectly suited to both leisurely drives and long journeys. Featuring right-hand drive in keeping with its British origins, this example has a French registration certificate and currently has 98,652 miles on the clock. The right-hand drive, true to its original design, is a key part of this Jaguar’s charm. For enthusiasts seeking a different configuration, left-hand drive conversions are common on these models and can be carried out with ease, thanks to a design originally conceived to cater for different markets. This XK140 underwent a restoration in the 2000s, meaning it is now in excellent overall condition. Its regular maintenance by Jaguar enthusiasts, notably within the Jaguar Club d’Alsace, as well as its careful upkeep, demonstrate a commitment to preserving this car in a manner true to its era. It presents itself in an elegant configuration with a understated and beautiful black paint finish, red upholstery that invites you to take your seat, and a varnished wooden dashboard adding a touch of luxury to this decidedly sporty interior. Mechanical report: Please note that a detailed condition report has been carried out by a professional and is available on request. Private viewings can be arranged for clients who wish to see the car. Information regarding each vehicle is provided to us by the sellers, and we verify its accuracy.
