Fellow Barn Finds writer Jeff L uncovered this XK – thanks, Jeff! It’s located in Canton, Michigan and is up for auction here on eBay where bidding has risen quickly to almost $20,000. I’m guessing the seller is flipping the car, as there are also pictures of the car on a trailer and then cleaned up a little in a driveway with some muscle cars in the background. The XK140 improved a lot of the issues with the original XK120, including more interior room and less engine heat transmitted to the cockpit, and to some is even more desirable than the original XK120, even though auction prices don’t generally reflect that. The drophead coupe version here offers a true fold-down top as opposed to the roadster version. The car looks remarkably solid in the pictures shown and is said to be complete; extensive pictures of the removed components seem to back this up. 1959 license plates and some 1960 newspapers have me wondering if this has really been off the road for that long. The seller states that the car has been in climate-controlled storage for 30 years and that the seats were removed and carefully stored 25 years ago and look great. As only the third owner, I hope they have gathered a lot of the history around the car, why it was taken off the road so soon and what issues remain. I wish I were in a position to look closer at this one; I’d love to know it’s back story!
