1955 JAGUAR XK140 FHC. 70,343 Miles, Matching Numbers, Running engine, Complete and ready for restoration. Clear North Carolina in my name in hand.

For your consideration is my 1955 Jaguar XK140 Fixed Head Coupe. I purchased the car 18 years ago and have kept it in inside storage. The individual I purchased it from, drove it into his garage and parked it ten years before I bought it. After making my living in the repair and restoration of Jaguar's, my life's course has changed and I will not be able to restore it.

Engine # G 2230-8 The engine runs well, and has good oil pressure. (I am running it on an auxiliary fuel tank and pump. The fuel tank and lines need cleaning). 

Services just completed:

Cooling system flushed, New Water Pump, Thermostat, Fan belt and Coolant.

Points, condenser, rotor replaced.

Carburetors rebuilt, new carb insulators.

Oil changed (Castrol 20W-50), new oil filter.

Gearbox # JL27193 The gearbox shifts and pulls in all gears. Shift knob missing. The Clutch works.

Body # J4133 The body is in overall good condition with some rust on the door lower edges. The right door has had some minor body repair and the filler has fallen off. The rear fender front doglegs and sills were replaced by an amateur and shows! The inner sills and left battery supports need replacing. The car was originally White, and was painted Navy Blue. All the glass is good. The rear window chrome trim is in the trunk, but broken in the curve. The right window regulator needs replacing. The wheels are in good condition, and the tires hold air.

The Interior is complete and all original. The seat slides operate. All wood and trim is intact. The headliner has a small rip. The sun visors are intact.

Most of the Lucas electrical systems work! The car starts with the ignition switch and starter button. The warning lights and gauges work, instrument lighting works, most exterior lights work. Wipers work.

The trunk has the Spare Wheel with hold down, Tire tool, Complete tool set, Jack and Grease gun. The tool for opening the spare wheel compartment and package shelf is in place.

The chassis is solid, with only surface rust in some places. The Brake Hydraulics need replacing. The exhaust system needs replacing.

Overall this is an excellent car for restoration. It is hard to find a Jaguar XK140 this original, so complete, and running. The washer bottle, original air filter assembly, reverse and right park light lens, and gear knob are the only items missing!

I have done my best to accurately describe the car. Please don't hesitate to ask questions.

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will assist in whatever way necessary.

A $500.00 Paypal deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end. Final payment must be made in Cash at time of pick up, or Bank Wire Transfer or Certified funds.

Final Jaguar F-Type produced at Castle Bromwich

Mon, Jun 17 2024

Last October, Jaguar told us that the F-Type ZP Edition would be the capstone for the F-Type line, the two-seat coupe and convertible retired at the end of the model year. That turned out to be maybe kind-of a little true; standard versions of the car will continue on sale until early 2025 as Jaguar sells out the car's production. The real last stand for the F-Type is the car above, the final unit down the line at Jaguar's Castle Bromwich facility on May 22, 2024, with its siblings the XE sedan and XF Sportbrake. Colored Giola Green outside with a Tan Windsor leather interior under a black roof, the F-Type will use its 5.0-liter V8 to drive to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust collection on the same day that its inspiration, the Jaguar E-Type, ended production in 1974 with a British Racing Green Series III Roadster. Speaking of which, from 1961 to 1974, Jaguar says it built 75,528 E-Types across three Series'. From 2013 to 2024, the automaker built 87,731 F-Types.   Now that the dealer inventory's stocked, what comes next is the end of the long slog to electrification. We won't know what that looks like until the first product gets revealed sometime next year. It's been three years since Jaguar outlined its electric reinvention, promising a two-door sports car and two SUVs that would contend with Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Since then, the electric coupe is said to have given way to a four-seat GT that we presume has four doors, Autocar saying this one could be considered a reborn XJ, although larger and much more luxurious than the last. Sitting on the new long-wheelbase JEA platform, the outlet predicts each will come with baseline specs of at least least 450 horsepower, all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering, six-figure prices. and super-fast charging times. Designs will be minimalist, heavy on touchscreens and sustainable materials, which are pages pulled from the Range Rover playbook. And we're told the Leaper, Jaguar's leaping cat emblem around since World War II, will be put to bed. Instead, identification will be by Jaguar wordtype outside and in — another Range Rover tic. Even stranger: Autocar says none of the three will fit a rear window. Like the Polestar 3, the Jaguars will use "a digital 'mirror' at the base of the windscreen." If this is true, a mirror on the instrument panel at the bottom of the windshield would be proper old-school Jaguar. The GT is meant to debut first, next year, one SUV per year for the two years afterward.

Jaguar XKSS tipped to be next continuation model

Mon, Feb 9 2015

After the Jaguar F-Type Project Seven, Range Rover Sport SVR, and run of six continuation Lightweight E-Types, the Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations (SVO) division is plotting its next historic resurrection, and there's a chance it could be the Jaguar XKSS. That's the word from SVO head John Edwards to Dutch outlet Autovisie, but we need to emphasize the word "could," because the XKSS is one of about four finalists - a "major contender" - among a long list of 65 ideas for the Special Operations to devote itself to. Edwards said that SVO projects need to have some kind of story behind them, a qualification the XKSS doesn't lack. In the 1950s Jaguar raced the D-Type to three Le Mans wins among its list of victories, but retired as a factory team at the end of 1955. When Jaguar decided to turn 25 unused D-Type chassis' into road-going cars, the XKSS was created. The company built the 25, but a fire at the Browns Lane factory destroyed nine of them. It is those nine that will be in the continuation run, should the XKSS get the nod. Jaguar has already sold the six E-Type Lightweight models, each one for more a million pounds ($1.52M US). The XKSS could undoubtedly command even more, with its legendary roots; the 1956 model that Steve McQueen bought for $5,000 (and Jay Leno recently drove) is said to be worth thirty million. We have to think that even if the XKSS isn't chosen right now, it will certainly get the green light at some point.

The 2021 Jaguar F-Type Heritage 60 Edition is fast, exclusive and classically green

Wed, Dec 9 2020

The original Jaguar E-Type turns 60 years old next March, and to celebrate, Jaguar is building a limited run of a special F-Type. It's awkwardly called the 2021 Jaguar F-Type Heritage 60 Edition, but it's otherwise a subtle, classy example of the sports car. One of the most noteworthy aspects is that soft green hue. It's Sherwood Green, which was a color offered on the original E-Type, but hasn't been available since the 1960s. It's the only color offered here, and won't be available on other F-Types. Black and aluminum trim accents dot the outside, and they're paired with machine-finish forged wheels. The interior features a light brown and black leather interior, and there are special logos placed throughout. That logo also happens to be shared with the restored Jaguar E-Type Heritage 60 Collection cars. The center stack gets a unique aluminum trim that's patterned to match the back of an E-Type's rearview mirror. The F-Type Heritage 60 Edition is only available in F-Type R specification. That means it gets a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 making 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Power goes through an eight-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. Buyers do get the choice of either coupe or convertible, though. Only 60 examples of the mean green cat will be built worldwide. Pricing hasn't been announced, but it should be a good bit more than the roughly $104,000 of a base F-Type R. Related Video:
