1955 Jaguar XK140 MC OTS
Numbers Matching, Recent Mechanical Restoration, Heritage Certificate
The XK140 offered here is a desirable MC, or Special Equipment, model, outfitted by the factory with a high-compression cylinder head, as used on the C-Type racing cars, giving it the ability to produce 210hp. The MC edition also came equipped with a crankshaft damper, a dual exhaust, wire wheels, fog lamps, and windshield washers, making it an ideal candidate for long distance touring. The car is accompanied by its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate, which establishes the current running gear and power plant to be the originals. The car has just recently been rebuilt mechanically by noted Jaguar specialist Bob Grossman of Mighty Roar Racing in Colorado. This was a true nut and bolt operation, and included (amongst other items) a rebuild of the numbers matching motor and transmission. It was restored some time in the last decade, so we took the opportunity to freshen up the restoration and as a result the car presents beautifully.
The car comes with side curtains, original owners manual, Heritage Certificate, and a complete original tool kit. In its currently fantastic running condition, it promises to be a reliable and usable classic for its next lucky owner.
