A collector's dream!

The Jaguar XK140 was aimed at the American market with substantial bumpers and a bold, less fragile grille of cast aluminum, with fewer, albeit thicker, bars. The XK140 also offered more interior space, thanks to the engine being moved forward three inches. The scuttle was raised, creating more headroom and increased clearance between the steering wheel and the driver's seat. More precise rack-and-pinion steering replaced the old Burman steering box.

This car is the high-performance “SE” variant, referred to as the "MC" model in the U.S. The SE combined the crankshaft damper, wire-spoke wheels, dual exhaust outlets, twin fog lamps, and windscreen washers of the “M” option package with the competition-bred, high-flow cylinder head of the Le Mans-conquering C-Type. When new, the SE package represented an incredible value, and added $295 to the base price of the XK140.

This beautifully restored 1955 Jaguar XK140 SE Fixed Head Coupe comes finished in stunning Competition Blue with an elegant Saddle Tan leather interior. The frame-off restoration included a complete engine and transmission rebuild, meaning this XK140 SE is now ready to be driven and enjoyed. This Jaguar XK140 is one of only 1,965 produced. Combined with the scarce SE/MC equipment, this XK140 a rare market opportunity.
