Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, custom radiator, driving lights, wrong air cleaners. Good cosmetics but orange peel underhood on cowl panel. Very metallic color which might even be described as Candy Silver. Excellent interior, chrome everywhere underhood. A show restoration, but over the top and now showing some age. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Um Hello A buck and a quarter For an XK 140M This is a caricature of a Jag XK restoration, overdone like a aging spinster trolling for one last gigolo and ... fanfare ... it worked! Not only did it work, its effectively double the value of similar (or better) XK 140M Roadsters. An aberration worthy of note as an example of irrational exuberance.
