@OakHarbor1 – I am confused about the vehicle location for shipping purposes. The license plates are from California, the description says the dealer is in North Andover Massachusetts and the vehicle location is Annapolis Valley Nova Scotia. Is this a US vehicle or a Canadian titled vehicle ...
Vehicle is currently located and titled in Nova Scotia. Thank you for your question.

@frenzy – Very clean, hope none of that rip of GST involved.. ...
GST will only be involved if the car remains in Canada. If sold to the US, 2.5% duty and no GST. Thanks
Very clean, hope none of that rip of GST involved..
@continental45 – With the XK 140 in Nova Scotia, has the dealer/seller personally viewed the car? If you have viewed the car, do you or the current owner have knowledge of any rust/corrosion issues? If there was recent paint work, was any body filler used in the repaint process? ...
I have a Silverstone representative in Nova Scotia who sees pretty much every car. In this case, he took the pictures and drove the car a week or so ago. The car was bought on BaT by the current owner who bought three cars during covid, none of which he needed. Realizing this now, they are all for sale. They all also came from the US. He did not get a lot of documentation with the car and neither he or we saw the restoration or photos of it. However, this is a very nice car with no apparent rust and is a very clean example of the XK140 FHC. The owner is close to 90 and just appreciates them for the most part; does not drive them very much. Sorry I can't be of more help on specifics. Thanks

@Silverstone – Shipping to MA is about the same as shipping to the west coast from Massachusetts. Although the buyer is ultimately responsible for shipping, we will definitely consider assistance in that regard to the successful bidder. And FYI, a car can usually be brought down in one to two weeks. Just brought a 68 Jaguar MKII down in 8 days.. Thanks ...
Just to understand, the buyer pays shipping from Nova Scotia to Buyer's destination, even though the dealer is in MA?
@Johninva – Hello. I am interested in this vehicle, and have a question: under the Known Imperfections heading there is one item regarding the seat. My question concerns the instrument gauges shown in the photos. Can you explain how the speedometer indicates 140 mph, while the tachometer indicates 0 rpm? ...
Sorry, that should have been noted though as you pointed out was obviously an issue. The tachometer sweeps left and works fine. The odometer works fine also but the speedometer needs repair. Sorry for that omission and thank you for pointing it out.
@Hydrotap – Is the car going to be in Massachusetts for shipment ...
