Following up from the very successful XK-120, Jaguar made various refinements to create the new XK140. The same beautiful lines were retained with subtle refinements to the bumpers and body trim. The engine was moved forward by three inches to allow for far better interior cabin room and comfort as compared to its predecessor, the standard engine was 190 horsepower version of Jaguars 3.4 liter inline six. With the return of the MC option (another 20 HP), power was further enhanced to a 210 horsepower output. Straight line performance was about the same as the XK120, but the road holding had been vastly improved thanks to the addition of rack and pinion steering, telescopic dampers as well as larger brakes and advance suspension geometry. These improvements made the XK 140 more comfortable, predictable and enjoyable to drive. This beautiful XK140 FHC is a highly desirable MC model, equipped from new with Twin SU Carburetors producing 210 HP at 5,000 RPM, dual exhausts and 16 wire wheels.

This XK-140-MC is offered with jack, spare wheel/tire, knock off hammer, grease gun, Jaguar heritage trust certificate, history/receipts and its original steering wheel. A stunning color combination in excellent condition throughout, mechanically serviced and sorted, this XK140 MC is a wonderful candidate for many of the world?s prestigious vintage rallies. Also as comfortable for local, weekend, seasonal touring pleasure as well as on the concours lawn.
