Jaguar XK140 SE Michelotti
Chassis
#S814286
The Jaguar XK140 SE Michelotti one-off.
Vehicle Overview
The Jaguar XK140 SE Michelotti chassis number ‘S814286’ was built on 25th May 1955 as a left-hand drive XK140 SE Coupé with normal factory coachwork. The Jaguar was delivered new in France via the French distributor, Charles Delecroix, to its first lady owner, Mme Jeanne Gaymard in Paris. It is the 286th left-hand drive coupé built, with body number ‘J4457’. The original colour scheme was cream with two-tone blue interior. In 1957 this Jaguar XK140 SE had an accident that damaged much of the body. As the original body was beyond repair, the XK came under the eye of the famous Italian coachbuilder Vignale, to be re-bodied to one of his bespoke designs. Michelotti is said to have designed three bodies for XK140s around this time; all three are different, making this Jaguar XK140 SE Michelotti unique. Its high waistline and fastback styling would have been considered avant garde for the 1950s. In the course of the rebuild, the interior, instruments, and other details were all changed to Michelotti’s custom design.
