1955 Jaguar XK140 MC DHC For Sale
This car features twin SU H8 2 carburettors and the optional factory-fitted C type cylinder head, and it is believed that just 151 left hand drive cars were built to this specification. Producing a very healthy 210 bhp @ 5, 750 rpm, this quick XK 140 features heavier torsion bars and twin exhaust pipes, and these cars were known as SE specification in the domestic market.
This beautiful car has undergone a total ground-up restoration and benefits from some discreetly incorporated improvements to offering enhanced performance, safety and convenience.
The burr walnut dash is quite exquisite and complements the red leather upholstery perfectly. The mirror black exterior paint is simply fabulous and the car features the correct period black 72 spoke wire wheels and a black mohair hood.
One look at this car will leave you in no doubt that this is an outstanding example of an already rare and collectable Jaguar.
This car was first delivered to Brooklyn, New York, in May 1955, and today it is fully certified by the Jaguar Daimler heritage trust. As you would expect and wish to see, the car comes with a meticulous history file and full photographic record to support its complete restoration. What is particularly nice about this car are the numerous subtle upgrades that will enhance the ownership experience.
These include a quality stereo with Ipod connectivity, a Tillet pedal box, efficient electronic ignition, upgraded disc brakes with servo assistance, polly bush suspension, up rated heater and even an extra 12 volt socket for phone or sat nav charging. Coupled with exemplary reliability and performance, this is an outstanding XK140 to enjoy and a rock-solid investment.
Invoices totalling many thousands of pounds from a UK marque specialist reinforce the exceptional no expense spared preparation of this car.
