This work is documented in the form of invoices and receipts, s well as some pictures of the engine work done. Furthermore, here are pictures from the prior restoration of the car. This XK140 runs and drives wonderful. During the restoration, his Jaguar was fitted was an original electric overdrive which engages nicely in 4th gear.
