The car was finished from the factory in Birch Grey and was repainted in blue under prior ownership. Additional exterior details include a dark blue canvas soft top and removable side curtains, Lucas driving lights, chrome bumpers with overriders, fender-mounted side mirrors, and dual polished exhaust outlets. The wiper motor was rebuilt in 2017. Areas of paint chipping and cracking are shown in the photo gallery below.
Chrome-finished 16″ wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and are mounted with 6.00-16 Michelin Pilote X tires installed in 2017. At the same time, the brake hydraulics and shoes were replaced along with the left-rear wheel hub and the wheel bearings. The XK140 came equipped with rack-and-pinion steering from the factory.
Trimmed in red from the factory, the interior has been reupholstered in black with color-coordinated carpets. Additional appointments include a passenger-side grab handle, lap belts, and map pockets on both doors.
A four-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer, a reverse-sweep tachometer with an inset analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The fuel-level gauge was overhauled in 2017. The five-digit odometer shows 17k miles, fewer than 1k of which have been added by the current owner. True mileage is unknown.
The 3.4-liter inline-six features a C-Type cylinder head with dual overhead camshafts, twin SU carburetors, and a dual exhaust system. The engine was rebuilt by Coventry West of Lithonia, Georgia in February 2011, and an aluminum radiator and a PerTronix ignition coil were installed in 2017.
A photo of the engine block stamping is provided above, and a close-up image showing the stamping on the cylinder head is provided in the gallery below.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The rear axle should be overhauled according to a 2017 invoice provided in the gallery.
