1955 Jaguar XK 140 SE Roadster Sans réserve Constructeur : 1955 Jaguar XK 140 SE Roadster Modèle : Sans réserve Carte Grise : Certificat d'immatriculation allemand N° Chassis : Châssis n° S810790 Moteur n° G9807-8 - Intéressante XK 140 SE Roadster conduite à gauche - Restauration de haut niveau documentée par un dossier photographique - Même propriétaire allemand pendant près de 40 ans - Equipé d’une boîte 5 vitesses Getrag - Sans réserve   Restée entre les mains du même collectionneur allemand pendant près de 40 ans et objet d'une restauration de grande qualité, cette XK 140 SE (Special Equipment) fait sans doute partie des exemplaires à conduite à gauche les plus désirables. Vendue neuve aux États-Unis, elle a été importée en Allemagne en février 1986 par M. K. Palsherm. En 1987, elle a été vendue à un collectionneur allemand de Bonn, propriétaire d'un atelier de restauration de carrosserie qui a décidé de la restaurer de A à Z. Elle a été complètement démontée et la carrosserie, la mécanique et l'intérieur ont fait l'objet d'une remise en état très soignée, documentée par un dossier de photos. A cette occasion, elle a été équipée d'une boîte Getrag à cinq rapports, pour une conduite plus facile et une meilleure adaptation aux longs trajets. Les travaux se sont achevés en 1994 et, dans les quatre ans qui ont suivi, son propriétaire a parcouru quelque 20 000 km. Des factures témoignent d'un entretien régulier et d'une réfection du moteur, en 2009, par KS Motortechnik, à Bonn. Celui-ci (n° G9807-8) correspond bien au type et à l'époque de la voiture. En 1995, une carte d'identité FIVA a été délivrée et, en 2015, une évaluation de Classic Data a attribué la note 1, confirmant le standard de restauration particulièrement élevé. Dans cette très belle teinte noire et sa sellerie bleu nuit, cette XK 140 SE Roadster fera le bonheur de son prochain propriétaire en rallyes touristiques ou pour de simples balades en famille ou entre amis   German title Chassis No. S810790 Engine No. G9807-8 - An interesting left-hand-drive XK 140 SE Roadster - High-quality restoration documented by a file of photographs - Owned by the same German owner for almost 40 years - Fitted with a 5-speed Getrag gearbox - No reserve 1955 Jaguar XK 140 SE Roadster Owned by the same German collector for almost 40 years and having benefited from a high-quality restoration, this XK 140 SE (Special Equipment) is undoubtedly one of the most desirable left-hand-drive examples. Sold new in the United States, it was imported to Germany in February 1986 by Mr K. Palsherm. In 1987, it was sold to a German collector from Bonn, the owner of a bodywork restoration workshop who decided to restore it from top to bottom. It was completely stripped down; the bodywork, mechanical components and interior were meticulously restored, as documented in a photo album. During this process, it was fitted with a five-speed Getrag gearbox to make it easier to drive and better suited for long journeys. The work was completed in 1994 and over the subsequent four years, its owner travelled some 20,000 km. Invoices provide evidence of regular servicing and an engine rebuild in 2009 by KS Motortechnik in Bonn. The engine (No. G9807-8) is consistent with the car’s make and era. A FIVA certificate of authenticity was issued in 1995 and in 2015, a Classic Data assessment rated it as a grade 1, reflecting the exceptionally high-quality restoration. In its stunning black paintwork and midnight blue upholstery, this XK 140 SE Roadster will delight its next owner on touring rallies or on casual drives with family or friends.
