SUMMARY
The Warwickshire Collection - This car has formed part of an extensive collection of British and European Classics and your inspection is encouraged.
DESCRIPTION
- A rare find, original unrestored XK140 FHC
- Looking well in its original Birch Grey with a red leather interior
- This is a true time-warp example believed to have last been on the road around 1970
- Showing 26,610 miles on the odometer which may well be correct due to the time it's been off the road
- Supplied with a small history file, original 'Buff' logbook showing two keepers
- The last MOT within the file states an expiry of 1971 which also adds to the theory of its time off the road
- The rear wheel spats are in the back of the car as they are shown to be missing in the photos
