--  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.

Ecurie Ecosse collection brings in millions

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

It's rare to see an entire racing team's collection go up for auction at once, but that's just what happened this past weekend at Bonhams' new headquarters in London, where there Ecurrie Ecosse collection brought in top dollar (or pound, anyway).
The collection, whose consignment we first reported on back in September, included a smattering of Jaguars, other classic racers and an iconic transporter truck, all decked out in the same blue and white livery of the Scottish flag. After reportedly feverish bidding on Sunday, the 1952 Jaguar C-Type sold for £2,900,000 ($4.75m), the '56 short-nose D-Type for another £2,600,000 ($4.26m), and the transporter for a shocking £1,800,000 (nearly $3 million) - all to the same unnamed American collector. A 1952 Jaguar XK120 roadster went to another buyer for a record £707,000 ($1.16m).
With Ringo Star's Facel Vega selling for £337,500 ($550k) and Michael Schumacher's Benetton B194 fetching another £617,500 (just over a million), the auction total skyrocketed to £16,861,630 ($2.75m), which Bonhams described as "a roaring success". Scope out the press release below for more info.

Jaguar planning additional models, engines

Fri, May 1 2015

Jaguar is in the midst of a product offensive, rolling out the new XE and XF sedans while preparing the upcoming F-Pace crossover. But it's not about to sit on its leather-upholstered laurels. According to Motor Trend, the British automaker has a slew of projects in the cooker. For starters, there will reportedly be more versions of the flexible new Ingenium engine family. The lineup is being launched with gasoline and diesel four-cylinder engines, but is tipped to breed smaller three-cylinder versions as well to slot into a variety of Jaguar and Land Rover models. More intriguing, however, is the suggestion that Coventry is planning to replace its long-serving 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with a new straight six engine that could go turbocharged – which would make some sense out of the 35t moniker being worn by the supercharged XE. Of course Jaguar is going to need some new vehicles to slot those engines into, and MT suggests there are several possibilities under consideration (if not actual current development). The XE could breed wagon, coupe and convertible versions, as well as an SVR variant to take on the the BMW M4, Cadillac ATS-V et al. If the F-Pace proves a success, it could lead to larger and smaller crossovers in the future. The next XK is tipped to grow larger and go up-market. There, it would compete with the likes of the Bentley Continental GT, Rolls-Royce Wraith and Mercedes S-Class Coupe, while steering clear of the smaller F-Type. Related Video:
