Jan's Jaguar XK140 DHC -     Jan's inability to drive and enjoy his original XK140 DHC on a regular basis brought him to our door.  His question to us was "Can you make a correct looking XK140 DHC replica but surround a modern and reliable driveline, suspension and brakes ? "   Of course our answer was yes.  Jan's car will be equipped with a fold-down convertible top, power windows, rear jump seat, and will feature a Chrysler 4.0 L I6 (195 hp) engine, 5 speed manual overdrive  transmission, Mustang GT disc brake rear differential and suspension, modified Mustang II front suspension, power steering, power brakes, tilt column, custom leather interior, custom interior wood work, air conditioning, AM-FM-CD, ....... much more.   watch the car emerge !
