--Signal Red over Biscuit leather interior, Biscuit Carpeting and Tan soft top, 3.4 Liter DOHC Inline 6-Cylinder engine with Twin SU Carburetors producing 210 HP at 5,000 RPM, Uprated 5-speed manual gearbox.
Following up from the very successful XK-120, they made various refinements to create the new XK140. The same beautiful lines were retained with subtle refinements to the bumpers and body trim. The engine was moved forward by three inches to address complaints of cramped accommodations and the standard engine was now the 190 horsepower version of the 3.4 liter inline six, with the return of the MC option of another 20 HP to enhance to 210 horsepower output. Straight line performance was about the same as the XK120, but the road holding had been vastly improved thanks to the addition of rack and pinion steering, telescopic dampers as well as larger brakes and advance suspension geometry. These improvements made the XK 140 more comfortable, predictable and enjoyable to drive. As with the XK120 before, the OTS roadster (open two-seater) remained the most desirable with collectors and enthusiasts, thanks to its clean, uncluttered look and raw, exciting performance.
This beautiful XK140 OTS is a highly desirable “MC” model, equipped from new with dual exhausts, wire wheels and the free-breathing C-Type cylinder head. Further enhancements include front disc brake conversion, 2” SU carbs, oil cooler, 5-Speed gearbox, lap belts and a Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel.
This XK-140-MC is offered with jack, air pump, spare wheel/tire, tool kit, owners handbook, Jaguar heritage trust certificate, history/receipts and full top with matching side curtains. A stunning color combination in excellent condition throughout and mechanically serviced and sorted, this XK140 MC is a wonderful candidate for many of the world's prestigious vintage rallies, at home on the concours lawn or used simply for weekend, seasonal touring pleasure.
