Jaguar XK140 FHC RHD 1955 - SOLD

This Jaguar XK140 FHC is an original UK, right-hand drive car. It was originally dispatched in August 1955 and sold by Ernest W Hatfield Ltd of Sheffield. The first owner was a J W Beevers also of Sheffield and the car still wears its original number plate of VWB 88.

A full nut and bolt restoration here at Twyford Moors was completed in May 2000. A photographic record of this restoration is present with the car along with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate. The car has covered less than 10,000 miles since this restoration and has been beautifully maintained. This is one of the sharpest looking XK140 fixedheads out there!

During the restoration the car was upgraded with front disc brakes, an electric cooling fan, an alternator and a header tank. Inside the car also benefits from seatbelts and a hidden radio with four speakers.
