This Carmen Red 1956 Jaguar XK140 MC roadster benefited from an extensive nut and bolt restoration and was the centerpiece of the previous owners collection of rare classic cars. The XK140 MC was the most desirable higher performance model with more horsepower and features dual exhaust, overdrive, fog lights, J headlights. This European masterpiece on four wheels was restored a few years ago with documented restoration records and  has only been driven 302, babied miles before we acquired the car. The previous owner did not want to sell this rare British sports car, but unfortunately had a terminal illness and is no longer with us.  The black leather interior received new new black hides on the seats and was topped off with a high quality black Haartz soft top and has side curtains stored behind the seats.  The higher performance MC designated engine and transmission was rebuilt  at the time of the restoration. The six cylinder MC engine was more powerful, had a different cylinder head, larger valves and has dual exhaust instead of a single manifold to handle the additional performance.  The Jaguar XK140 MC has and 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive to be more freeway friendly. The car was painted in correct Carmen red single stage paint and shows well jeweled in a mix of newer chrome and stainless and well preserved original trim that was polished to a show quality finish.  When we bought the Jaguar it came with painted spoke wheels and older tires that were not safe for the road. We purchased brand new chrome spoke wheels and brand new wide white radial to give this Jaguar the curb appeal that it deserved.
