This specific example, a 1957 Jaguar XK140 OTS (open two seater), is a highly sought after numbers matching “MC” model and is offered for sale with No Reserve.
Overall, this Jaguar XK140MC is an extremely fine example of a classic British sports car and has been lovingly cared for by its longtime current owner, an avid collector of fine automobiles and yachts. As verified by the accompanied certificate from the Jaguar Heritage Trust, this vehicle is painted in its original pastel or “Cotswold Blue” color. The exterior finish and lustor is extremely presentable for a high quality older restoration which speaks to the caliber and care of the vehicle. All vehicle numbers listed on the car’s data tag match the numbers found on the car as well as the heritage certificate. On the interior, the cockpit is trimmed out with blue carpeting and leather seats. The soft top is a high quality soft canvas and the darker blue color compliments the overall Cotsworth Blue nicely.
Under the hood this Jaguar is equipped with its original DOHC 6 cylinder specially equipped MC edition engine which features the optional C-Type cylinder head. Paired with dual SU carburetors, the MC special edition engine was recorded as producing upwards of 210hp. There are extensive documents and service records detailing the history of the car. Some of the work done includes engine service by Donovan Motors, engine and running gear work by Brett Leonard in Tisbury MA, alternator service done by Scott Frick’s in Tucson, and radiator work done by Bassett’s Jaguar.
While driving down the road, the four speed transmission shifts smoothly and helps to create a wonderful driving experience. In 2010, this Jaguar won the best of its class at a Jaguar concours in Tucson Arizona prior to the vehicle coming to New England. Judging sheets for the Tucson concours come with the car. Overall, this numbers matching MC edition Jaguar XK140 is a high quality example of an iconic British sports car and is being offered for sale without reserve. Sold with a Maine Registration.
