Description

1955 Jaguar XK140 Drophead Coupé Aluminium


One of only 479 XK140 drophead coupés manufactured with right-hand drive, chassis no. 807176 was first registered in June 1955 to a London distributor. It has a JDHT certificate that reveals this XK140 left the factory finished in British Racing Green. The late Malcolm Bishop purchased the chassis, engine and other components in 2013 (receipt on file) and started the project to high standards having obtained the aluminium drophead coupé body from renowned Jaguar body specialist Gregson Polska of Mielec, Poland.


This XK is presented as a rolling chassis with an unpainted body. The engine and gearbox in place and are all restored. The car comes with polished spoked chrome wheels and boxes of various parts, ready to be fitted.


Believed to be mostly complete, this one off Jaguar XK140 requires trimming, a new dashboard and a new canvas hood. Offered with a UK V5C document.
