Description

Fully Restored 1955 Jaguar XK-140 numbers matching car. This car has had a complete frame off restoration. It features a Jaguar 3. 4 SE (C-Type Head) engine. matted to a manual 4 speed transmission. The Jaguar XK-140 was introduced in 1954 and produced for a short time. ending in 1956. As such. these vehicles are very rare. The Xk-140MC are an even rarer breed. The 'M' represented 'Modified' while the 'C' was for the C-Type racing head. The very sporty XK-140MC produced 210 and could race from zero-to-sixty in less than 8. 5 seconds. Top speed was over 120 mph. The Jaguar XK140 was a sports car manufactured between 1954 and 1957. Upgrades over its predecessor. the XK120. included better brakes. rack-and-pinion steering. and modern tube type shock absorbers instead of the older lever arm design. The primary visual change of the XK140 over the previous XK120 was the more substantial front and rear bumpers and chrome accent trim on hood and trunk. The center of the trunk lid has a red shield celebrating 'Winner LeMans 1951-3' inscribed in gold. The XK140 features a 3. 4-liter straight six. dual overhead cams. factory experimental heads and twin 2-inch SU carburetors. delivering 210 horsepower at 5750 rpm.
