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.

BMW isn't the only automobile company getting involved in Pride Week, as Jaguar Land Rover announced it also has cars that will participate. And yes, they're convertibles with rainbow stripes. On Sunday, June 30, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will participate in the NYC Pride March with several themed vehicles and employees walking next to them. JLR chose two of its most intriguing vehicles in the Jaguar F-Type SVR convertible and the Range Rover Evoque Convertible. Jaguar unveiled two different F-Type SVRs, one in a gorgeous blue and the other in white. Both cars have the same detailing, though, including rainbow stripes on the the sides, rear bumpers, and hoods. The F-Types also have rainbow stripes across the tops of their windshields, and "JAG YOU ARE" decals across the windshields and rear bumpers. The silver Evoque is only slightly different. It, too, has rainbow stripes across its doors, rear bumper, and windshield. Rather than a "JAG YOU ARE" decal, however, "EVOQUE" is spread across the front bumper in rainbow lettering. You can check out these unique models at the Pride parade in NYC.

The automotive world has been hot on fire with the Jaguar F-Type of late. We're still recovering from the excitement of driving Jaguar's new sports car for the first time, and recently we had a predictive look at a coupe version. As it turns out, those 'patent sketches' were just a warm up for the real deal F-Type Coupe, as this brand new set of spy images proves out.
Word from our shooter is that security around the F coupe was and is really tight. The photographer had to hide in the cargo area of his clandestine SUV, just to catch these few, not-perfectly-clear images (that odd color your see is window tint). Still, the photos are good enough to see that the rakish silhouette of the hardtop is going to do justice to the convertible. In fact, the new top seems to flow quite perfectly into the car's rear haunches.
Expect that the F-Type Coupe will share an engine lineup with the roadster, meaning both a naturally aspirated and a supercharged V6, as well as a V8 option. Hot R and R-S versions of the Jaguar coupe are a virtual lock, too, though how far down the product pipeline they are is unclear.

Season Two of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee kicked this week in style. How much more style is there to be had than in a 1969 Jaguar XKE, after all? This time around, Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman spend some time driving around in the "slinky, sexy" Jag, talking comedy and then grabbing breakfast.
In addition to the kickoff of the show's second season, this episode also represents the start of a 24-episode sponsorship with Acura. The original deal promised short ads at the beginning and end of each episode, but this time around, Seinfeld "stumbles upon" a 2014 Acura RLX, which is obviously - and admittedly - the work of product integration. Scroll down to watch Seinfeld and Silverman exchange banter with the Jag's beauty as a happy backdrop.
