1956 Jaguar XK140 DHC (Drop Head Coupé) French vehicle registration certificate Chassis No.: DN807394 4-speed manual transmission Mileage: 98,652 miles The 1956 Jaguar XK140 Drophead Coupe (DHC) is one of the most elegant examples of British grand touring from the 1950s. With its refined lines, long, sculpted hood, and luxurious interior, it offers a rare balance between sportiness and comfort, making it a car that is as pleasing to look at as it is to drive. An evolution of the famous XK120, the XK140 features more sophisticated engineering and a more refined driving experience. Its Jaguar inline-six engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivers a smooth and enjoyable driving experience, perfectly suited for both leisurely drives and long trips. Featuring right-hand drive in keeping with its British origins, this example has a French registration certificate and currently has 98,652 miles on the odometer. The right-hand drive, true to its original design, is a key part of this Jaguar’s charm. For enthusiasts seeking a different configuration, left-hand drive conversions are common on these models and can be easily accomplished thanks to a design originally intended for various markets. This XK140 underwent a restoration in the 2000s, thanks to which it is now in excellent overall condition. Its regular maintenance by Jaguar enthusiasts, particularly within the Jaguar Club of Alsace, as well as its careful preservation, demonstrate a commitment to keeping this car true to the spirit of its era. It features an elegant interior with a sleek and beautiful black paint finish, red upholstery that invites you to take a seat, and a varnished wood dashboard that adds a touch of luxury to this decidedly sporty environment.
