Default Xk 140 .... 1954

Friday..... I will be rescuing a 1954 140 from behind a house here. The gal at first would not entertain any discussion on the car.
I have promised to get the car running and see what condition it is in. It will then be put up for sale... Car is the Coupe..
If..... anyone might be looking for a project car..... this is it. Not bad.... Engine does turn over.. I want to change all fluids before I actually start the critter..
Is in an awful area and will be a nightmare to get out. Try... a winding, narrow, rough.... mountain road.... Car is in a 10' wide area with a 50' dropoff on one side...
Wish me well... Top

After the engine was washed.

Ed, the man who spotted it behind a housd during a roofing job.
Washing the car after near 20 years of sitting in a Sandy spot where rain hit it from the house roof all the time was a bear...

Actually it is a very decent car. Not in the high dollar class, but no doubt worth about 30 thousand US Dollars....Values are like a ball bearing here...they roll all over the place...
