Jaguar XK140 DHC RHD 1956 – For Sale

This 1956 Jaguar XK140 is an older restoration that remains in exquisite condition. The history file contains extensive documentation dating from the restoration, carried out between 1992 and 1997, along with detailed records of the car’s meticulous maintenance since then. Built in December 1955, the car was not dispatched until January 1956 and is therefore registered as a 1956 vehicle. It is an original UK right-hand drive example, finished in its original paint colour.
Included in the history file is a continuation logbook dating back to 1964, which shows that the car was owned at that time by a Mr Thomas Scarfe of Ovingdean, near Brighton. In 1968, it was sold to a Mr P. Murphy, who lived near Richmond Park, London. Pleasingly, the car retains what appears to be its original registration number: TGH 235.
Over the years, this XK140 has been carefully maintained and sympathetically upgraded by a number of notable XK specialists, including ourselves. Today, the car benefits from a 5-speed gearbox, front disc brakes, an electric cooling fan, header tank, alternator, and more. The interior features colour-matched inertia seat belts and a Brantz rally meter. These thoughtful upgrades make the car practical, enjoyable to drive, and reliable for regular use.
This XK140 Drophead Coupé strikes a perfect balance between originality and practical enhancements. It looks every inch the charming 1950s sports car in its original Birch Grey, while offering sensible upgrades that allow for longer journeys with confidence.
