1955 Jaguar XK140 Special Equipment FHC

This 1955 Jaguar XK140 fixed-head coupe was built on June 10, 1955 as a Special Equipment model and was originally distributed through Los Angeles, California. Power is provided by a 3. 4-liter DOHC inline-six, which is equipped with a C-Type cylinder head and backed by four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. Work included installing an electronic ignition, reconditioned generator, new brake master cylinder, spin-on oil filter conversion, and more. Originally finished in black, the car received a bare-metal repaint in Imperial Maroon during the restoration. As a Special Equipment model, it came equipped from the factory with fog lamps and J-headlights. A Jaguar mascot and leather strap have been added to the bonnet. Noted imperfections include a few blemishes in the paint and small abrasions on the side glass. A new windshield was installed in 2016. Chrome wire wheels come wrapped in a set of Firestone Cavallino Sport 200 tires from Coker.
