1955 Jaguar XK-140 Navigation
This Jaguar XK140 SE Drophead Coupe was completed in 1955 as a left-hand-drive example with overdrive. It wore a Pearl Grey exterior with a French Grey top and a red-piped-gray interior. Its first owner was F.M. Tunno of Portland, Oregon who took possession in 1956 and is believed to have retained it until 2009, when the British car dealership, JD Classics, purchased the car. They immediately sold it to Robert Jewers, one of the company's directors. The current US-based owner purchased it in 2015 via JD Classics.
This Jaguar received a sympathetic cosmetic restoration by JD Classics in 2016 which included re-trimming the interior in burgundy leather. The body was fully dismantled and painted in its original color, and the brightwork was replated.
This vehicle is powered by a 3,442cc dual overhead camshaft inline 6-cylinder engine with twin SU carburetors delivering 210 horsepower at 5,500 RPM. There is a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, front disc brakes a front independent suspension with torsion bars, and a live rear axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2022
