Vehicle Description
1955 Jaguar XK140 3.4 MC Drophead Coupe, LHD.�
The XK140 debuted in 1954 as the latest iteration of Jaguar's
classic XK series of sports cars. Preserving the curvaceous wing
lines of the XK120 but featuring much needed improvements in
handling, leg room and overall power, the 140 quickly proved to be
a worthy heir to its iconic predecessor. Of these latest 140s, the
most desirable models were those finished to Special Equipment
standard and fitted with the C-Type cylinder head - such models
were given the moniker "MC" in the critical North American market
where demand was large and growing, particularly among the sports
car fraternity.�
Originally supplied to California, this highly desirable �MC' model
with factory fitted C-Type cylinder head has benefited from a total
chassis off restoration to a very high standard with very little
use since completion.
This XK140 is full matching numbers and has been upgraded by JD
Classics to our Touring Specification less than 4 years ago.
Numerous JD Sport upgrades were fitted including, 5 speed all
synchromesh gearbox, Power Assisted Steering, Front Brakes upgrade
with 4 Pot Caliper Discs, Alternator Electrics, Thermostatically
controlled electronic cooling fan, Stainless steel exhaust and
Colour coded front seatbelts with period buckles. JD Classics bare
metal repaint to original factory colour specification, detailing
and inspection all recently completed.�
Only driven 150 miles since our works, the XK140 has been correctly
stored and maintained by the last owner and is in superb
condition.�
