Introduced in the mid 1950’s as Jaguar’s follow-up to the highly successful XK120, the XK140 is widely regarded as one of the premier sports and exotic automobiles ever produced by Jaguar. Numerous improvements were made for the XK140 over its predecessor without sacrificing the luxurious lines and elegant curves. This specific example, a 1957 Jaguar XK140 OTS (open two-seater), is a highly sought after numbers matching “MC” model.
Overall, this Jaguar XK140MC is an extremely fine example of a classic British sports car and has been lovingly cared for by its previous owners. 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 luster 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 color.
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. 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. Overall, this numbers matching MC edition Jaguar XK140 is a high-quality example of an iconic British sports car.
