1956 Jaguar XK140 MC Fixed Head Coupe
Limited Edition - Fun to Own & Drive - Excellent Candidate for full Restoration. Ready For Sale, Title in Hand.
-- Chassis No. S815503DN -- Engine No. G7382-8S
About the Model:
The Jaguar XK140MC was manufactured by Jaguar between 1954 and 1957 as the successor to the XK120. Upgrades included more interior space, improved brakes, rack and pinion steering, increased suspension travel, and telescopic shock absorbers instead of the older lever arm design. The Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) shared the DHC's interior trim and rear seat. The prototype Fixed Head Coupe retained the XK120 Fixed Head roof-profile, with the front wings and doors the same as the Drophead. In production, the roof was lengthened with the screen being placed further forward, shorter front wings, and longer doors. This resulted in more interior space, and more legroom.
According to Car-Nection in the three years of production there were only a total of 2800 manufactured in Coventry, England. Of those 733 were sold domestically in Great Britain and 2067 were manufactured for export. An exact number of how many of these cars a left is unknown, however, it can easily stated that there are far fewer on the road today. This particular engine is the "C" Type, making it even more valuable. The exact spec would be XK 140 3.4 SE (C-Type Head) ("MC" in USA). This special model is rare and highly collectible.
Car History
Manufactured in Coventry, England for export. Left hand drive. This is an original barn find near Chicago, Illinois. The original owner is unknown, yet since it's find in the early 1960's only three owners have had the car titled in their name. All are from the same family. The car has resided in Idaho since the early 1990's and was once owned by Orrin B. Cox. Cox served in WWII, went on to work in the FBI, Secret Service, then became an influential figure in the Idaho State Judicial Branch serving as a Judge for Canyon County in Southwest Idaho. The current owner and relative inherited the car in the early 2000's, enjoys driving it on occasion and has kept the vehicle well stored in covered, secure garage parking.
Car Plus Points:
This is the original paint job which has survived the decades with only a few minor abrasions. It is the very popular Jaguar Racing Green, which is still a classic shade and color today. Many of the original accessories are on the car. Even the original spare tire is in the trunk with the original spoke rims. Add to that a worn, but original owner's manual and original tool kit. It is very fun to drive and is always an attention grabber. The engine is in good shape, it runs fines.
Car Restoration Needs:
To bring this car up to mint condition the following points should be considered. Look carefully at the photos in the gallery as we have attempted to photograph and document everything possible.
-- Electrical wiring, some things work, some don't -- Minor abrasions on body paint, some touch up work only -- All window molding needs replaced. It's currently worn and cracked -- Small rock chip on front window, lower right side -- Some service rust on floorboards under upholstery -- Brake work. Brakes tend to pull to the left. -- Possibly needs new alternator, although that could be electrical -- Original wood dashboard is somewhat weathered -- Under carriage needs cleaning, some, but has only a little rust
If you are willing to put some time, plus a bit of money and elbow grease into the car you can very easily bring it up to mint condition and have equity in the vehicle.

Patrons of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will be able to get their first glimpse at the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, but the new hardtop sports car will be shown off to an even greater audience in early February. No, we aren't talking about the Chicago Auto Show - we're referring to the Super Bowl. Jaguar will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the second half of the big game on February 2, 2014, and the sleek new F-Type Coupe will be the star.
According to Jaguar, the ad campaign will pose the question, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?" And for all you social media mavens out there, Jaguar will launch a specific hashtag to go with this marketing: #GoodToBeBad.
British director Tom Hooper is responsible for the ad, which is being filmed in London. Americans will get their first glimpse at the campaign this weekend in the first spot, called Disruptor, but the big F-Type Coupe spot will not air until Super Bowl XLVIII in February.

It's been barely a week since JLR announced its new Special Operations division, dedicated to creating limited-run halo cars and custom creations for both the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Now the British automaker has confirmed the debut of the division's first project.
We don't know what it is, exactly, that Jaguar will be bringing to the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week, but we bet it'll be exciting. If we were the betting kind, we'd put our money on some kind of hot-rod F-Type, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Alongside whatever JLR Special Operations has got cooking, Coventry will also be bringing the new F-Type R Coupe and XFR-S Sportbrake to run up the hill alongside a whole slew of classic and racing Jaguars, including a pair of D-Types, a Group 44 E-Type, a Group A XJS and the reunion of XJR-9 and Andy Wallace that last saw each other on the top step of the podium at Le Mans in 1988.

When Jaguar previewed its new sportscar two years ago with the C-X16 concept, it showed a coupe form. But when the car hit production as the F-Type, it rolled out in roadster form only. Not that we're complaining, but we all knew it wouldn't be long before Coventry revealed the production coupe, and that's just what it's doing at this month's LA Auto Show.
Jaguar hasn't given us much to go on yet - just a single shot of the vehicle from above and nothing in the way of technical details - but we all know the drill. The F-Type Coupe will essentially be the same as the existing roadster, only with a fixed roof - with a large glass panel, mind you, to let plenty of light in and keep the cabin from feeling markedly more claustrophobic than the open-top version.
That ought to make it a little lighter (though not much) and a little stiffer, but otherwise we can expect more or less the same specs as the convertible. We'll have to wait until the evening of November 19 to know for sure, though, so watch this space for more.
