The Jaguar XK 140 Drophead Coupé is widely regarded as one of the finest British sports cars of the 1950s. Combining elegant styling, refined craftsmanship and the legendary 3.4-litre XK inline-six engine, it offers a unique blend of performance and grand touring comfort. Paired with its 4-speed manual gearbox and overdrive, the XK 140 delivers an authentic and enjoyable driving experience, perfectly suited to long-distance touring.

This example was first registered on 30 June 1957 and has benefited from a professional restoration. It presents beautifully, featuring a well-kept interior, an upgraded cloth convertible top replacing the original vinyl material, and carpets in very good condition. With a displayed mileage of 49,942 miles, this Jaguar represents an attractive opportunity for enthusiasts of authentic British classics. The car is supplied with Dutch registration documents, an E705 document, and a Belgian Car-Pass, providing a transparent ownership history. As is common with a classic car of this age, a number of technical improvements are recommended. These are clearly detailed in the accompanying inspection report.

Xavier's quote:
"The XK 140 is one of the most beautiful Jaguars ever built. The combination of the legendary XK engine, overdrive and the elegant Drophead Coupé body makes it a dream car for every enthusiast of classic British motoring."
