1957 | Jaguar XK 140 DHC

Registration number: VP-67-81

This 1957 Jaguar XK140 Drophead Coupe is truly exceptional. It’s an original Dutch-delivered XK140, factory-equipped with left-hand drive. Moreover, over its 66-year existence, this car has had only three owners and still retains its original Dutch registration. Finished in the original “Indigo Blue” and with just 2,789 examples built, it’s an extremely rare find.


*A Very Neat Jaguar
*
This Jaguar XK140 is in neat condition. It was restored in the past and has been well-maintained since, contributing to its attractive appearance. The paint shows a lovely shine, the wheels are in good shape, and the convertible top is neat. The interior, thanks in part to the color combination, has a great look, and the upholstery and carpets are well cared for. The interior details are correct, featuring a beautiful set of instruments and the iconic gauges, as well as a particularly fine steering wheel that fits perfectly in your hand. Under the hood, we find the coveted C-Type cylinder head, which ensures excellent performance. The car starts easily, drives smoothly, and delivers the enjoyable driving experience Jaguar is famous for.


*The History of the Jaguar XK140
*
Introduced in 1954, the Jaguar XK140 built upon the success of its predecessor, the legendary XK120. With improvements such as a repositioned engine and rack-and-pinion steering, the XK140 offered a more refined driving experience. The 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine with dual overhead camshafts produced 190 horsepower in standard form, which was considered remarkable performance at the time. The Drophead Coupe also provided a more spacious interior and a luxurious touch, making it one of the most sought-after versions.

With only 2,789 Drophead Coupes produced, the Jaguar XK140 is both rare and highly desirable. With just three owners, a factory-original left-hand drive configuration, and the original Dutch registration, this is a very interesting XK140 for the true enthusiast.
