A Cat For Touring - 1955 Jaguar XK140 MC

1955 Jaguar XK140 MC

The XK140 was the second iteration of Jaguar's XK series, offering notable improvements including increased horsepower, rack and pinion steering, telescoping shock absorbers, and improved brakes. Of the models offered, the most sought-after quickly became the MC roadster option, due to its beautiful open body design and the C-type head fitted to the twin-cam engine, creating a drastic improvement to performance.

Finished in Battleship Grey with red interior, this car was designated at the factory as a “Special Equipment Model", or an MC model. Outfitted with the C-type head, Lucas driving lamps, wire wheels, and dual exhaust, this XK140 MC has a very desirable blend of options designed both to improve performance as well as aesthetics.

With consummate care and excellent presentation, this XK140 presents today with very nice cosmetics throughout. The paintwork displays a consistent finish that contrasts handsomely with plated and polished wire wheels and chrome dual-ear knock offs. In all, the  presentation is very cohesive and well balanced, a tribute to the ongoing care and attention to detail afforded to this car.

A genuine, matching numbers XK140 MC Roadster with capable driving manners and attractive cosmetics, this XK140 Roadster is ready to deliver on all the promises of nostalgic sports car motoring, rewarding attendance at Jaguar club shows, and welcomed participation in vintage touring events.
