The XK 140 DHC built between1954 and 1957 is the rarest and most sought after of the XK range. It combines the great looks of the XK120 with the comfort, performance and handling of the later XK150. Only 2310 LHD cars were produced.
Our midnight Blue XK140 started her life in 1954 in sunny California and was imported to Europe around 2012 by the current owner who commissioned a complete nut and bolt restoration from CRS of The Netherlands.
Approximately 5000 kms were driven since and the car has been meticulously maintained by CRS, last maintenance and inspection was performed in October 2019.
We are highly impressed by the way this car delivers her 210 Bhp and by the smooth quality of the original Moss gearbox.
This -as good as- or maybe even better than new car will give it’s future owner decades of fun and will take him/her to the South of France as easily as to the local beach in the summer.
The full weather gear offers excellent protection against rain and can be set up in a few seconds.
