Description
Barn-Find 1956 Jaguar XK140 MC Roadster with Matching Numbers
This 1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster is a true barn-discovery out of a large estate collection and a highly sought-after MC model with matching numbers. Blue with red leather interior. An extremely original example that's gone untouched for decades and is now in need of a well-deserved complete restoration. It has rust but remains intact. This Jaguar is among the desirable Special Equipment or “SE” models, as denoted by the “S” prefix to the chassis number. This example was also fitted with the optional C-Type cylinder head, which increased engine power. Approximately 2, 028 left-hand-drive XK140 Roadsters were factory equipped with both the SE package and C-Type head, a combination often referred to as the “MC” model. Given its relatively limited production numbers, ideal factory specification, and eligibility for some of the most popular driving events and concours, this XK140 MC Roadster represents an exciting opportunity for the enthusiast looking for a worthy and rewarding restoration project.
