Sold new in the United States, it was imported into Germany in February 1986 by Mr K. Palsherm. In 1987, it was sold to a German collector from Bonn, the owner of a bodywork restoration workshop, who decided to restore it from top to bottom. It was completely stripped down and the bodywork, mechanics and interior underwent a meticulous restoration, documented by a portfolio of photographs. At the same time, it was fitted with a five-speed Getrag gearbox, for easier driving and better suitability for long journeys. The work was completed in 1994 and, over the following four years, its owner covered some 20,000 km. Invoices provide evidence of regular servicing and an engine overhaul in 2009 by KS Motortechnik in Bonn. The engine (No. G9807-8) is consistent with the car’s make and era. In 1995, a FIVA certificate of authenticity was issued and, in 2015, a Classic Data assessment awarded it a grade of 1, confirming the exceptionally high standard of restoration. In this stunning black paintwork and with its midnight blue upholstery, this XK 140 SE Roadster will delight its next owner on touring rallies or on simple drives with family or friends German title Chassis No. S810790 Engine No. G9807-8 - An interesting left-hand-drive XK 140 SE Roadster - High-quality restoration documented by a file of photographs - Owned by the same German owner for almost 40 years - Fitted with a 5-speed Getrag gearbox - No reserve 1955 Jaguar XK 140 SE Roadster Owned by the same German collector for almost 40 years and having undergone a high-quality restoration, this XK 140 SE (Special Equipment) is undoubtedly one of the most desirable left-hand-drive examples.
