With otherworldly performance which still thrills today, technical development decades ahead of it's time, achingly good looks, and a reasonable price point, the XKs remain one of the all-time great motorcars; always desirable, classicly beautiful, significant, special, and fast. The XK140 was a development of the earth-shattering XK120; it incorporated a number of mechanical and cosmetic changes which further refined and increased the performance of the already spectacular XK120. The MC option represented the pinnacle of performance at the time; incorporating the C-type cylinder head, twin exhausts, and heavier torsion bars, which raised performance to 210hp, and further improved the handling of the vehicle. The XK140MC remains one of the must-haves in the collector car market, is eligible and highly sought after for any number of vintage rallies and shows, yet remains accessible and easy to use. : The car shown here for sale is a highly desirable, numbers-matching, original MC-specification XK140 MC Coupe. This car has been the recipient of a recent mechanical recommisioning, having had it's cylinder head and carburetors recently rebuilt, fuel tank restored, it's Petronix ignition system replaced, brake lines replaced, and brake master cylinder re-sleeved. This XK140MC is ready to be driven and enjoyed. It is believed to have had only four owners from new, and is coming out of a 45-year long ownership by a single family, having been passed from father to son. The car remains in driver-quality cosmetic condition, having received a repaint to silver from it's original black approximately two decades ago. The interior remains in it's original shade of red, though the seats were reupholstered in red vinyl at some point in time, likely when the modern sound system was added as well. The car features a sharp looking Moto-lita steering wheel and driving lights, and an attractive set of chrome wire wheels. This is a mechanically sorted, driver quality example of the highest spec-XK140, and is ready to be enjoyed as the icon it is. Highlights:
