Vehicle Description
This Carmen Red 1956 Jaguar XK140 MC roadster benefited from an
extensive nut and bolt restoration and was the centerpiece of the
previous owners collection of rare classic cars. The XK140 MC was
the most desirable higher performance model with more horsepower
and features dual exhaust, overdrive, fog lights, J headlights.
This European masterpiece on four wheels was restored a few years
ago with documented restoration records and has only been
driven 302, babied miles before we acquired the car. The previous
owner did not want to sell this rare British sports car, but
unfortunately had a terminal illness and is no longer with us.
The black leather interior received new new black hides
on the seats and was topped off with a high quality black Haartz
soft top and has side curtains stored behind the seats.
The higher performance MC designated engine and
transmission was rebuilt at the time of the restoration.
The six cylinder MC engine was more powerful, had a different
cylinder head, larger valves and has dual exhaust instead of a
single manifold to handle the additional performance. The
Jaguar XK140 MC has and 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive
to be more freeway friendly. The car was painted in correct Carmen
red single stage paint and shows well jeweled in a mix of newer
chrome and stainless and well preserved original trim that was
polished to a show quality finish. When we bought the
Jaguar it came with painted spoke wheels and older tires that were
not safe for the road. We purchased brand new chrome spoke wheels
and brand new wide white radial to give this Jaguar the curb appeal
that it deserved. EXTERIOR: Carmen Red XK140 MC Extensive
