This Jaguar has sex appeal, performance, elegance, and class
written all over it! It is a spectacular Jaguar XK140 MC that has
undergone a rotisserie restoration to the highest level and has won
the JCNA national first place award and scored a 99.96/100. Where
do you begin on such a work of art? Is it the style, maybe the
color, or the thrill of an English sports car that is a pleasure to
drive.
EXTERIOR: The fit and finish is amazing. The Opalescent paint is
gorgeous, and compliments the body lines, curves, and angles of the
car. It has a wide spaced grill, full width bumpers, Lucas lights,
and larger turn signals on fenders. Correct 16 inch chrome wire
knock off wheels are wrapped in radial tires. The extruded fog
lights and dual tipped exhaust are part of the MC package. Our
favorite part might be the fresh air vents that pop open or the
race style mirrors that sit on top of the long front fenders.
INTERIOR: The high class continues inside, and it's been completely
redone. The biscuit is a perfect complement to the paint. The first
thing I noticed was the soft leather upholstery. Door panels look
new, the walnut wood trim is outstanding. The Smiths gauges all
match and include a 140mph Speedo, reverse sweep tachometer, and
auxiliary gauges. The 4 spoke wheel w/ Jaguar horn has been
refinished and sits on a telescoping column. The walnut wood dash
is very classy and offers a velvet lined storage box and glove
compartment. All the carpeting is matching with nice bound edges.
The review mirror sits atop the dash and has a tinted flip up visor
that matches the sun visors.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood you'll find the #'s matching
performance Type C engine. It is a dual overhead cam straight six
with the big valve cylinder head. Pushing the highest horsepower
out of the XK model lineup at 210HP! This light little sports car
gets up and goes. Overall, the engine bay is a work of art all by
itself. Everything's been painted beautifully and shows like
new.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Beautiful trunk compartment with matching
biscuit upholstery, with nice leather liners. There's a car cover,
hammer for knock off wheels, factory jack and tool kit. The spare
is under the floorboard. The entire trunk is complete just how it
would come originally. The jambs have been painted to the same
glossy finish and the weather-stripping looks new.
UNDERSIDE: This car was rotisserie restored. The entire underbody
is rust free and undercoated then painted the matching Opalescent
color. The MC models came with larger torsion bars, a better drum
brake system than lower trim models, dual exhaust and rack and
pinion steering. The suspension and steering were completely
rebuilt. The brakes were rebuilt. Fuel system was replaced, it has
an electric fuel pump. Looking up at the motor and trans they are
clean. This was the first year Jaguar offered an auto trans; the
trans was bought from the U.S by Borg Warner and put installed in
these cars. This has the original #'s matching trans as well! The
rear end was serviced and has a polished cover.
SERVICE: The vehicle has been inspected through our on-site shop.
We replaced the speedo cable, brake lights, and had a wheel
alignment performed.
You don't see these early XK model Jaguars too often, and not to
this concourse condition. This is a true piece of British racing
history. An exciting Lemans winning sports car. Not to mention the
highest trim with the best color combination.
A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am
offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen
are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your
questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a
walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
