Description
- Over 1,000 hours nut and bolt body off restoration - 5,000 miles covered since completion - Fitted with Power Assisted Steering - CKL Rebuilt engine - Simply stunning British Racing Green over Sage Green leather interior - Trimming by Suffolk & Turley Nuneaton - One of the best driving XK 140 OTS we have ever experienced Finished in British Racing Green with Sage Green hide and matching Green Wilton carpets throughout including the boot. 16 inch wire wheels with Vredestein tyres fitted, seat belts trimmed in Sage Green to match the main hide in classic webbing and chrome fittings with Jaguar mascots. Deleted bumpers and wider profile wire wheels really makes this cat look mean on road. Built in November 1955 to OTS specification in left hand driver, this XK was acquired by a UK based collector in the 1980’s and brought back home to Great Britain. It was at this point that the car was converted to right hand drive. Fast forward to 2010 and with only 2 further owners the car was dispatched to the men of Prestige Paintworks who were commissioned with the task of restoring the car. 1,000 man hours later the rewords are there for all to see, mm perfect door fitment. Gleaming coachwork, there was no small detail over looked. The body was removed from the chassis, anywhere which needed new metal work was attended to and the timber work was also replaced. A huge amount of thought had gone into this project. A hydraulic PAS system was chosen over an EZ system. An enlarged radiator with the correct period look and a rear fitting cooling fan were installed to keep the engine looking period and not overly restored. The engine build was carried out by CKL of East Sussex and the trimming was carried out by Suffolk & Turley of Nuneaton – the best of the best have carried out these works which is reflected by the car we present today.
