Finished in Indigo Blue coachwork with Grey hide, matching Blue carpets bound in Blue leather and a dark Blue mohair soft top. The hood benefits from a mohair hood bag to match and fitment of the correct wool headlining. Chrome wire wheels and fitment of chrome two ear spinners gives a touch of added class. Unlike the rest of its siblings the 140 DHC was the only car to have a lavish cabin, Burr Walnut dash board, door tops with grab handles counter sunk in and further wood running through the hood frame.

Beneficiary of a full body off nut and bolt, bare metal restoration which has been carried out to the parallel standard of Rolls-Royce – no small detail has been overlooked.

A considerable amount of improvements and upgrades have been carried out in the restoration process to aid and improve the drivability and performance.

  • Gearbox: Five speed manual with synchromesh in each gear.
  • Touring specification engine: In our view this is a must upgrade for these cars and twinned with the 5 speed gearbox makes this a very lively outside lane car and highly capable for European touring. lead free cylinder head, larger Twin 2 inch Sandcast SU carburettors, sport ignition systems plus leads performance. WM inertia starter motor and throttle linkage.
  • Cooling: Upgraded cooling system with larger alloy radiator and concealed electric cooling fan to aid running in slow traffic.
  • Exhaust system: Custom hand made full stainless exhaust system running from the tail pipe to manifold – tremendous detail.
  • Handling: Fitted with fully-adjustable shock absorbers with coil overs and front and rear anti-roll bars.
  • Braking: Brake discs all round, colour coded to match the coachwork in matching green. The callipers are 4 pot and the discs are vented and drilled giving #005 serious stopping power.
  • Steering: EZ power steering – giving the option to adjust to suit all.

This example is one of the best driving XK140's you will find and is ready for the - Routes-Nationales with their tall poplar trees lining the long straights. Magnifique!
