Perhaps more importantly. it is also accompanied by the 29-page XK140 supplement to the Mark VII and XK120 Service manual. This is critical as no service manual was issued for the XK140. Manuscript annotation on the inside cover records the owner of the car associated with these documents was one “D. J. B. Lethbridge” and the car’s registration number was 977 APL. Wonder where it is now? Covers rubbed and with some finger-prints. Internals are unusually fresh and clean for a catalogue of this age. Clearly a house copy, VG.
