The Jaguar XK140 had a timeless and elegant exterior design coupled with a roomier interior. This example was built at the Coventry, England, Jaguar plant near the close of 1954 and sent to US distributor Hoffman Motor Car Co. on December 29th of 1954. It wore a cream exterior color with a red interior featuring fawn-colored weather equipment. The first owner was Miami Beach, Florida, resident Albert B. Gross. Its subsequent history is not known, though it is believed to have lived much of its life in southern climates until it was acquired in the mid-200s by an Arizona dealer after a cosmetic restoration. The owner purchased the XK in 2006 and immediately began mechanical work, including a brake system rebuild, and the installation of a five-speed gearbox for comfortable high-speed cruising. The car was given new chrome wire wheels and carpets. A new top and side curtains were also added. Since that time, more mechanical work has been performed on the car. Most significantly, in 2011 the engine was given a refurbishment. A new clutch and pressure plate was installed, new SU carburetors, an aluminum radiator, and a supplementary electric cooling fan were added.
The car has the Special Equipment package, which includes fog lamps and dual exhaust pipes.
In 2013, the car was offered for sale at Gooding & Company's Scottsdale, Arizona sale. It was estimated to sell for $110,000 - $140,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $126,500 inclusive of buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2013
