1934 Triumph Gloria 10hp Sports Tourer Registration no. AER 492 Chassis no. 42277 Engine no. SS98306•Landmark Triumph sporting car•Developed by Donald Healey•Only four owners from new•Off the road 1968-2014•Restored in 2014Developed by the great Donald Healey, the Gloria, more than any other model, established Triumph's reputation as a builder of fine sporting cars; taking its name – it is said – from one of Selfridge's fashion models, who was photographed with the cars for publicity purposes. Standard-Triumph's managing director, Colonel Claude Holbrook, wanted to move the company away from the small cars that had underpinned its success in the 1920s, aiming to take a slice of the medium-size sporting-car market dominated by Riley. Indeed, ex-Riley employees would be instrumental in the Gloria project, designer Charles Ridley having been recruited from them, as was Donald Healey. Healey was quoted as saying: 'I was attracted by the Gloria project, which seemed better than Riley's own Nine... My first job was cleaning up the Gloria range, which was just about ready for production.' Introduced in 1933, the Gloria employed a conventional cruciform-braced chassis, under-slung at the rear and equipped with all-round 12' hydraulic brakes, on which was mounted low, streamlined coachwork of an elegance not previously associated with the marque. According to Holbrook, the Gloria was 'built to an idea... modern in conception, revealing lines that never before been achieved'. And few would deny that, once it had been 'cleaned up' by Healey, the Gloria was indeed most handsome. The four- and six-cylinder IOE engines were built by Triumph to designs by Coventry Climax, who supplied the raw castings, while the four-speed synchromesh gearbox and spiral bevel rear axle were supplied by ENV. In tuned guise fitted with twin carburettors, the 10hp 1,087cc inlet-over-exhaust four produced 46bhp at 4,600rpm; thus equipped, the Gloria Special Tourer was good for 75mph.This rare British sports car is understood to have had only four owners and had been off the road since 1968 when it was restored in 2014 at a cost of around £12,000. Related bills are on file. Described by the vendor as in good restored condition throughout, the car also comes with old logbooks; a current V5C document; a selection of photographs; instruction manuals; and a document of verification from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1934 Austin 10hp Two-Seat Tourer plus Dickey Registration no. JY 3195 Chassis no. G33851•An older restoration•Present family ownership since 2003•Engine professionally rebuilt circa 20 years ago•Kept in good running order•Enthusiastically campaignedThis Austin 10hp two-seat tourer - with additional dickey seat - was first registered in March 1934, benefiting from the updates made during 1933 including an X-braced chassis, 12-volt electrics, trafficators, chromed bonnet catches, and a spare wheel cover. Aside from the Austin spending its life in and around the Southampton area, little is known of its history prior to 1970 when it was discovered on a smallholding 'in a dilapidated state' by a Mr D Shepherd, who proceeded to treat the Ten to an extensive body-off restoration. The chassis and mechanicals were stripped and restored by Bob Gentle of Southampton and the interior and roof retrimmed by Southern Upholstery.In 1974, immediately following the restoration's completion, 'JY 3195' came a close second in concours competition, winning the first rosette of many more to come. In 1975 the car won the 'Pride of Ownership Cup' at the Austin 10 National Rally and was Outright Winner at the Southsea Rally.Due to the owner's ill health, the Austin was dry stored again from 1986 onwards, but was kept running and roadworthy, before being sold to Peter Nash Specialist Cars from whom it was bought by the current vendor's family in February 2003. The car was purchased as a gift for their daughter's eighth birthday (yes, eighth not eighteenth); it was something fun that she could be taken out in and would be able to drive once she was old enough. The Austin has been loved and cherished for the last 20 years, the engine being rebuilt by Bob Glenister at Available Austins of Coventry within the first year of ownership due to a cracked block. This work and associated repairs cost almost £7,500. Since then the owners have undertaken most of the maintenance themselves. A couple of years ago, for reasons the owners cannot remember, they changed the named keeper on the V5C. In the present ownership the Austin has been used extensively, including a run to the Netherlands in 2010 where it won the 'Piston Cup' for 1st place at the Austin Ten Drivers Club weekend (trophy included). Sadly, the father of the family recently passed away and the mother and daughter feel that now is the time 'JY 3195' passed to an enthusiastic new custodian. The car comes with a decent history file containing old logbooks, period publications, and numerous invoices, while a quantity of spare parts and tools is included in the sale also.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1933 Wolseley Hornet Patrick Special Coachwork by Patrick Motors Registration no. OJ 5925 Chassis no. 515/78 Engine no. 529A/78Introduced in 1930, the Hornet saloon deployed Wolseley's overhead-camshaft, six-cylinder engine in a lengthened Morris Minor chassis equipped with hydraulic brakes. Its power-to-weight ratio was exemplary among contemporary 1.3-litre cars, the smooth and flexible six pulling from walking pace to more than 60mph. The model was revised for 1932 with a shortened, chain-driven, overhead-cam engine (repositioned further forward to improve cabin space) and a four-speed 'silent third' gearbox. Increased performance was offered by the Hornet Special chassis, which came with 12' brakes and remote-control gearshift. The Special used the shortened engine equipped with twin-carburettors and an oil cooler, in which form it produced 45bhp, good enough for a top speed, depending on coachwork, of around 75mph. The Special chassis rapidly became that of choice for the multitude of independent coachbuilders already using the Hornet as the basis for a sporting two-seater. First registered on 9th February 1933, this Patrick Motors-bodied Hornet was acquired by the Patrick Foundation in 2001 as a 'barn find' in need of restoration. Work was never started and the car is offered today still in need of a complete rebuild. Sold strictly as viewed, it comes with an old-style V5C document.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1929 Rolls-Royce 20hp Landaulette Coachwork by Connaught Registration no. UU 6737 Chassis no. GEN14 Engine no. E5J (see text)•Fitted with a 20/25hp engine circa 1998•Present ownership since 2010•Engine rebuilt in 2011•Extensive restoration since acquisitionChassis number 'GEN14' was first registered on 3rd August 1929. According to John Fasal's book The Rolls Royce Twenty, the cars first owner was an R. Moreland. The car was subsequently owned by a Colonel Page (up to 1957). Including the current vendor, seven further owners are listed, the third of whom, Michael Horner, purchased car in 1968 from Gerald Millward and sold it in 1985. During Horner's ownership the Rolls-Royce was stored unused. After frost damage the fourth owner on the list, Philip Cordery, replaced the original engine with 'E5J' from 20/25hp chassis 'GSY63', a former hearse belonging to Mascot Motors, which he purchased in 1998 from The Real Car Co in North Wales. The original engine number for this car was 'K8T' (this engine comes with the car and will need to be collected from the vendor post sale). Our vendor purchased the Rolls-Royce in 2010.Following a big-end bearing failure in July 2011, the engine was rebuilt by former Rolls-Royce apprentice Peter Males. Robinson Engineering in Ferndown re-bored the cylinder block and relined it back to standard, while further refurbishment was carried out by Silver Lady Services, who dismantled the car prior to respraying and reassembly. Smarts Body Shop of Ferndown repainted the car using RM Ming Blue, while the interior retrim was entrusted to K Baggs Trimming of Parkstone, who used materials appropriate for the car's age including Connolly leather to the front. Other items refurbished included the starter motor, dynamo, magneto, distributor, carburettor, Autovac, klaxon, and water pump (rebuilt prior to the engine rebuild). New clutch plates were fitted and the gearbox oil replenished, and the radiator cleaned out and re-soldered where needed. An oil filter and water thermostat were fitted, which were not part of the original specification but useful upgrades nonetheless. The car was rewired at the same time as the engine rebuild and the dashboard instruments all overhauled. The brake servo was overhauled shortly thereafter. The Rolls-Royce returned to the road in March 2012 (at 72,814 miles on the odometer) and our vendor advises us that the engine has been totally reliable since the rebuild. Two original keys for the bonnet locks are included (the locks on both sides are the same so either key fits both). The original doorhandle locks do not work, the doors being secured by padlocks, while the driver's sliding window has a piece of timber to insert in its internal track to prevent it being opened from the outside. Accompanying documentation includes copies of factory paperwork; old-style logbooks; numerous receipts for the engine rebuild and rewiring; aV5C document; and a quantity of expired MoTs dating back to 1996. The following items come with the car: wheel spanner; spanner for radiator cap; wheel cover removal tool; starting handle; jack; rubber mallet; and the aforementioned bonnet keys and door padlocks.

1979 Peugeot 304 Van Registration no. TNP 540V Chassis no. 4198544 Engine no. 4198544Most motor manufacturers base their light van designs on models from their passenger car range, and this Peugeot commercial is derived from the French firm's 304 saloon. Styled by Pininfarina, the latter was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1969 and would enjoy a lengthy production run, the last (estate) models leaving the factory in 1980, by which time nearly 1.2 million had been produced. Of advanced specification, the 304 featured front-wheel drive, independent suspension and disc brakes, and was powered by an all-alloy single-overhead-camshaft inline four that would be offered in various capacities up to 1.3 litres (petrol) and 1.5 litres (diesel). The body's generously proportioned centre section was inherited from the smaller 204, the 304's extra length providing a much bigger boot. The van version (fourgonette in France) was introduced in September 1977.This 304 van was originally registered to Patrick Motors Ltd and used at their Peugeot/Talbot dealership in Evesham for delivering parts. The vehicle has not been driven for many years and will require recommissioning before further use. Offered with an old-style V5C document.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1970 Oldsmobile 7.5-litre Toronado Coupé Registration no. ANM 624H Chassis no. 394870M620629'Ranking with such block-buster Oldsmobile introductions as the Hydra-Matic transmission in 1940 and the Rocket V8 in 1949, Oldsmobile introduced its front-wheel-drive Toronado in 1966.' - Standard Catalog of American Cars. Developed by Oldsmobile, the Toronado's Unitized Power Package (UPP) cleverly packaged a Rocket V8 and Hydra-Matic transmission into an engine bay no larger than that of a conventional rear-wheel-drive model. It was America's first full-size front-wheel-drive car since the 1930s Cords. Styled by GM's chief stylist Bill Mitchell, the Toronado was conceived as a sleek fastback coupé; undeniably one of the most handsome American cars of its day, it is also one of the most desirable of post-war Oldsmobiles. As the company's top-of-the-range model, it was exceptionally well equipped, even in standard form; early versions produced before the 1971 restyle are considered more collectible. This example of a landmark American automobile rarely seen in the UK was imported from the USA in 2018 and registered to its first owner in this country in 2019. Used regularly over the last three years, it is described by our vendor as in very good condition throughout and totally standard, running and driving well; indeed, our vendor says he would not hesitate to drive it home from the sale (although we hope that won't be necessary!). Accompanying documentation consists of an Ohio title, import paperwork, and a V5C Registration Certificate. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1932 Wolseley Hornet Special Sports Registration no. YY 1713 Chassis no. 12/78 Engine no. 2733/75A•One of the finest small sporting cars of its era•Substantially restored, but some further work required•Engine rebuilt•Electrics require finishingAlthough its image in later years became ever more difficult to distinguish from that of other makes within the British Motor Corporation, in the early 1930s Wolseley occupied the front rank of British sports cars alongside MG, Riley and Frazer Nash. The single model responsible was the Wolseley Hornet. Introduced in 1930, the Hornet saloon deployed Wolseley's overhead-camshaft, six-cylinder engine in a lengthened Morris Minor chassis equipped with hydraulic brakes. Its power-to-weight ratio was exemplary among contemporary 1.3-litre cars, the smooth and flexible six pulling from walking pace to more than 60mph. The model was revised for 1932 with a shortened, chain-driven, overhead-cam engine (repositioned further forward to improve cabin space) and a four-speed 'silent third' gearbox. Increased performance was offered by the Hornet Special chassis, which came with 12' brakes and remote-control gearshift. The Special used the shortened engine equipped with twin-carburettors and an oil cooler, in which form it produced 45bhp, good enough for a top speed, depending on coachwork, of around 75mph. The Special chassis rapidly became that of choice for the multitude of independent coachbuilders already using the Hornet as the basis for a sporting two-seater. The Hornet Special was soon making its mark in competitions, one noteworthy achievement being the victory achieved by a team of three Eustace Watkins Hornets (two E W Daytonas on the Special chassis, one E W International on the standard chassis) in the 1932 relay race at Brooklands at an average speed of 77.57mph. Our vendor advises us that this Wolseley Hornet Special has been substantially restored although further recommissioning work is required, mostly to the electrical system, while the engine (rebuilt by Owlesbury Crankshaft Services) is still running in. The car drives, and both the transmission and bodywork are described as sound, and is sold strictly as seen. Finished in black with brown leather interior, this is a very pretty car with a wonderful mascot. Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style green logbook, a modern V5C, and the invoice for the aforementioned engine rebuild. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1969 Aston Martin DB6 4.2-Litre Sports Saloon Registration no. not UK registered Chassis no. DB6/4078/R Engine no. 400/4274•Delivered new in the UK•Matching engine and chassis numbers•Automatic transmission•Power assisted steering•Present ownership since 2011•Requires recommissioningConsidered by many to be the last 'real' Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965, updating the DB5. Although recognisably related to its Touring-styled DB4 ancestor, the DB6 abandoned the underlying Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication while retaining the aluminium outer panels. Somewhat confusingly, 'Superleggera' badges continued to be applied for a time, presumably until stocks ran out. The wheelbase was now 4' (100mm) longer than before, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time there was optional power-assisted steering. Today the accomplished DB6, despite being the most evolved and practical of the original DB family, is also, somewhat paradoxically, the most affordable. Its accompanying copy guarantee form shows that this DB6 (the fourth from last 'Mark 1' produced) was sold new in the UK via Rose and Young and registered as 'YMT 7H'. An automatic-transmission model, the DB6 left the factory fitted with various items of non-standard equipment including chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; two front seats belts; 3-ear hubcaps; power operated aerial; and power assisted steering. The original colour scheme was Silver Birch with black Connolly leather trim. The current vendor purchased the DB6 from Aston Workshop in July 2011. Aston Workshop's information sheet (copy on file) lists various works carried out by them including replacing the gearbox (1998); fitting central locking (2004); engine rebuild to 4.2 litres 'unleaded' specification (2006); fitting a Monte Carlo handling kit (2006); new road wheels and electronic ignition (2006); front suspension overhaul (2006); bodywork fully refurbished (2007); power headlight conversion (2010); and routine servicing. Since acquisition the Aston has been dry stored as part of our vendor's extensive private collection in the Middle East and will require recommissioning before further use. Additional documentation consists of copies of the manufacturer's Certificate of Origin and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate.Please note that this vehicle is from outside the UK.

1949 Land Rover Series I 4x4 Utility Project Registration no. not registered Chassis no. R862521Rover bosses the Wilks brothers saw the need for a tough, four-wheel-drive, utility vehicle to serve the needs of the agricultural community in the immediate post-war years but the Land Rover's runaway success took the company by surprise. The necessity of using corrosion resistant aluminium panels at a time of severe steel shortage turned into a positive virtue in the Land Rover's sphere of operations, and the use of existing components - including the P3 saloon's 1,595cc, four-cylinder, sidevalve engine - kept production costs down and cut development time. Ruggedly built and simple in construction, the Land Rover proved capable of surviving in countries where conditions were primitive to say the least, a virtue that helped contribute to its worldwide acceptance. Purchased by the vendor 'as is' on 15th October 2011 in the UK, this Series I Land Rover is presented in 'barn find' condition requiring full restoration and is sold as seen.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1964 Mercedes-Benz 220 S 'Fintail' Saloon Registration no. CBU 637B Chassis no. 11101210129387 Engine no. 13092310003591•Late example of a relatively short-lived model•Left-hand drive•Manual transmission•Repainted and re-trimmed in 2019•Offered from long-term ownership in Lebanon'Work on the new breed of Fintail saloons began in the mid-1950s under the stewardship of Dr Fritz Nallinger, a chap known for his precise manner. His team of dedicated experts were all committed to the common goal of adhering to the highest attainable engineering standards. Nothing less would have been acceptable from Daimler-Benz; indeed, it never has been.' – Lawrence Meredith, Mercedes-Benz Saloons. Introduced at the 1959 Frankfurt Auto Show, the 220 S saloon was one of three six-cylinder (W111) models sharing a new up-to-the-minute body style. This trio featured unitary construction bodies, independent suspension all round (at the rear by means of a single-pivot swing axle), and powerful servo-assisted drum brakes. Much attention had been paid to improving passenger comfort and safety, the cabin being enlarged and the glass area increased for better visibility, while the incorporation of front and rear crumple zones represented a milestone in automotive safety technology. Designed to appeal equally to European and North American markets, the sleek new body featured tail fins, a styling device then much in vogue, which gave the models their nickname: Heckflosse (Fintail). Powered by an up-rated (110bhp DIN, 124bhp SAE in the USA) version of its predecessor's 2,195cc overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine, the 220 S was good for a top speed of around 165km/h (102.5mph). Fuel-injected SE versions followed, the coupé and cabriolet models lacking the saloon's swiftly outdated tail fins, while front disc brakes were standardised on the 220 S in April 1962. Production ceased in 1965.This left-hand drive Fintail saloon shows 50,730 kilometres (approximately 31,500 miles) on the odometer and comes from long-term ownership in Lebanon. In 2019 the car benefited from a fresh coat of paint and was retrimmed in glorious red leather in readiness for presentation to the owner's daughter upon her achieving a new work placement in France. Just prior to the car's proposed shipping to France the owner's daughter was informed that the placement would now be in Dubai. Instead, in 2021 the owner shipped the Mercedes to the UK where it is currently registered. Some recommissioning will be required as the car has been in dry storage since 2021. Offered with jack, tools and a V5C Registration Certificate.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1961 Land Rover Series II 4x4 Utility Registration no. 168 DNP Chassis no. 151100653Our vendor purchased this Series II Land Rover as an impulse buy in 2019 simply because he liked the look of it. He was informed that it had been restored with a galvanised chassis, although whether it is the original one which was refurbished or a new one is not known. '168 DNP' has a number of interesting and desirable additions including: freewheeling hubs; a Fairey overdrive; a period 30cwt Harvey Frost vehicle recovery pickup frame; and a 3,000lb Fairey capstan winch and associated car jack (said to have been fitted to the vehicle early in its life); and a PTO driven capstan winch. According to the vendor, the vehicle appears to be in good mechanical order: engine, gearbox, transmission, etc although the carburettor could do with being set up or replaced. The body is said to be in good condition for an older restoration, while the canvas hood is new.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1936 Riley 12/4 1½-Litre Merlin Saloon Registration no. CLY 459 Chassis no. 26M4111 Engine no. M4111•Long-term single family ownership 1959 to date•Partially restored 1995-1998•Last run in October 2020•Requires recommissioningClothed in stylish bodywork by Stanley Riley, the Coventry marque's pre-war offerings were among the world's finest small-capacity sporting cars. Percy Riley's 9hp, 1,087cc, twin-camshaft four was an outstanding engine design by any standards, various versions powering Rileys from 1926 to 1957. Looking to all intents and purposes like a twin-overhead-camshaft design, the Nine's cross-flow cylinder head featured hemispherical combustion chambers and valves inclined at an included angle of 90 degrees. The twin gear-driven camshafts were mounted high in the block, operating the valves via short pushrods. This successful high-camshaft layout was retained for the new Hugh Rose-designed 1½-litre four introduced in 1935. The Falcon saloon debuted on this new 12hp chassis, which was also available with the familiar streamlined Kestrel saloon and Lynx tourer coachwork, while the following year the range was augmented by the Sprite two-seater sports and three saloons: the Adelphi and six-light Kestrel on the 112.5' long-wheelbase chassis and the all-steel Merlin on the short-wheelbase (106') frame. Other noteworthy features of the 1½-Litre included Girling rod brakes, Armstrong-Siddeley pre-selector transmission and Bijur automatic chassis lubrication. The well-liked 1½-Litre model in its various guises remained a fixture of the Riley range until the firm's take-over by Morris in 1938.This 12/4 Merlin was acquired by a member of the vendor's family (Barry Jackson) in 1959. Ownership passed to his brother Colin Jackson in 1967 and the Riley was inherited by Rollo Jackson on Colin's death 10 years ago (the car was not registered in his name as he was too young at the time). 'CLY 459' was partially restored over the period 1995 to 1998, and according to the lady vendor, was running well in October 2020. She describes the car's condition as generally good apart from an oil leak, while the bodywork and paint are reported as 'fair'. The car is offered with an old-style logbook; a V5C document; and various spares, tools and books relating to the Riley 12/4. Recommissioning will be required before the car returns to the road and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1937 Frazer Nash-BMW 315/2 Sports Tourer Coachwork by Whittingham & Mitchel Registration no. FMC 116 Chassis no. 66.062 Engine no. 66.062•One of only six in this style by Whittingham & Mitchel•Matching chassis and engine•Original registration•Requires re-commissioningIntroduced in 1934, the BMW 315 boasted a 1½-litre six-cylinder engine; a twin-tube chassis with transverse-leaf IFS; a synchromesh gearbox; and mechanical brakes, all of which made it one of the more advanced designs of the period. Good for around 65-70mph, the 315 was sold in the UK as the Frazer Nash-BMW Type 34, AFN Ltd having concluded an agreement with BMW for the importation of BMW motor cars, some having German bodies and others locally made coachwork. The car offered here is one of 22 BMW 315 triple-carburettor sport specification chassis imported by AFN and known as the 315/40 or 315/2. According to the BMW Historic Motor Club, 15 of these cars were right-hand drive. Production records listed in Denis Jenkinson's AFN history show that this is one of six cars bodied in aluminium as four-seat tourers by Whittingham & Mitchel, a company based in New Kings Road, Fulham and after WW2 in Staines, Middlesex. How many of these six cars survive is not known. The current owner acquired 'FMC 116' as a non-runner in 1966; little history is known prior to that other than an advertisement in Motor Sport in December 1957 claiming it 'fast to drive and pretty to look at' and 'believed the only one of its type'. Some work was done to the car over the years, and there are invoices on file from Bristol Engineering (successors to marque specialists TT Workshops) dating from 2012 and others relating to further work by Paul Rogers Engineering in December 2016, resulting in an MoT pass. The car has been unused since and will require recommissioning. The cream paintwork dates from the 1950s, as does the interior trimmed in beige vinyl, while the hood and side screens, in cream vinyl, are in usable condition. The instruments are incorrect and the hub caps missing, but otherwise the car is believed to be complete. This classic pre-war Frazer Nash-BMW represents a wonderful opportunity to own a car which, following recommissioning, will be suitable and eligible for all manner of competitions.

1956 Jaguar XK140 SE Coupé Registration no. 914 XVY Chassis no. S 804693 DN Engine no. G7552-8S•One of only 843 right-hand drive XK140 coupés•Matching engine and chassis numbers•Exported to South Africa in the 1980s•Restoration competed in 2011/2012•All-synchromesh overdrive gearbox, front disc brakes, Kenlowe electric fan'For 1955, Jaguar present a range of models incorporating not only added refinements, but mechanical advances directly derived from their many outstanding successes in international competitive events. All the wealth of experience gained on the race-tracks of the world and in record-breaking speed and endurance tests is built into every Jaguar to provide for discriminating motorists the highest degree of efficient performance allied to comfort and safety.' - Jaguar Cars Ltd. Launched in 1954, the Jaguar XK140 was broadly similar to, though more refined than, its sensational XK120 predecessor, major engineering changes being confined to the repositioning of the engine 3' further forward and the adoption of rack-and-pinion steering as used on the racing C-Type. The suspension and brakes remained much as before, though with stiffer torsion bars at the front and telescopic shock absorbers replacing the previous lever type at the rear., the XK140 was built in three model types: roadster, coupé and drophead coupé, the latter two offering usefully increased cabin space and occasional rear seats. Outwardly the newcomer was distinguishable by its revised radiator grille, rear lights incorporating flashing indicators, and larger bumpers - the latter adopted to withstand the cut and thrust of urban parking. The power unit remained Jaguar's well-tried, 3.4-litre, twin-cam six, which now produced 190bhp in standard trim thanks to higher-lift camshafts and revised porting. To ensure reliability, steel bearing caps replaced the previous cast-iron type. A close-ratio gearbox enabled better use to be made of the increased performance while Laycock-de Normanville overdrive became an option for the first time. Special Equipment (SE) XK140s came with wire wheels and Lucas fog lamps, and could be ordered with an engine developing 210bhp courtesy of the 'C'-type cylinder head. XK140 performance was well up to the standards set by its exemplary predecessor, contemporary magazine road-tests regularly recording top speed figures in excess of 120mph. One of only 843 XK140 coupés made in right-hand drive configuration, this desirable matching-numbers SE model was exported from the UK to South Africa in the 1980s.
