Jaguar XK140 FHC RHD 1955 – For Sale

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 J. W. Beevers, also of Sheffield, and the car still wears its original number plate, VWB 88.

In 1958, the car was sold by Stanley’s Motor Services of Sheffield to Mr E. Newbould. By 1974, it had made its way up to Morpeth in the hands of Mr N. Wake. By 1996, the car had travelled to the other end of the country and was in Middleton-on-Sea, very close to us.

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 just over 10,000 miles since the restoration and has been beautifully maintained. This is one of the sharpest-looking XK140 Fixed Heads 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 seat belts and a hidden radio with four speakers.
