SOLD.This beautiful Jaguar XK140 Roadster finished in Silver with Grey trim and Black hood. Manufactured on 19th January 1956 this is 1 of only 73 right-hand drive XK140 roadsters made, this example was supplied via Jaguar dealer Bryson in Sydney, Australia. In April 1956 the Jaguar was sold to its first owner, Air Commodore Alfred Adams of Edgecliff, Sydney. In June 1960 this beautiful car showed up at the Australian Grand Prix meeting at Lowood where it was raced by Bernie Maudsley. Documentation on file records the names of subsequent owners in Australia, one of whom was Rob Gill and he wrote an article about his XK140 for Sports Car World magazine (June 1974 edition, copy on file). In 1980 the Jaguar was acquired by a previous owner Jim Byrne who kept it for 34 years. Eventually in 2009 he decided to carry out a full restoration and on completion the car was sold and brought back to the UK in 2014. The history file contains a Heritage Certificate and invoices from the restoration.
