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.

Jaguar F-Type meets America in first TV spots

Wed, 15 May 2013

With its new "Your Turn" global ad campaign, Jaguar has introduced its 2014 F-Type to the world of broadcast media. The effort takes aim at the monied 25-54 demographic, which makes sense of Jaguar recently shacking up with the 2013 Playboy Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun and San Francisco NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. You'll also be seeing the new roadster on ESPN's SportsCenter, late night ABC talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the USA Network show Covert Affairs, the Sundance Channel and theaters, magazines and everywhere digital. On top of all that, a social media campaign includes a contest called #MyTurnToJag that will reward four winners with a custom drive in the new convertible.
You'll find the first two spots below, along with a press release on the roaring red marketing onslaught headed your way.

Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model 3 and other EVs: How they compare on paper

Thu, Mar 1 2018

The 200-mile club of electric vehicles is really growing. The most recent member is the Jaguar I-Pace, the company's first pure EV. It promises luxury, performance, style, and most important, good range. Nearly as recent is the Hyundai Kona EV, and while it doesn't promise luxury or performance like the Jaguar (it's also smaller), it does pack impressive range. With the introduction of both of these electric cars, we thought we would see how they compare against each other, and the other two big names in high-capacity electric cars: the Chevy Bolt EV and the Tesla Model 3. This isn't intended to be a direct, apples-to-apples comparison, as the four are quite different. If anything, they break into two groups: bigger and more luxurious, and smaller and less expensive. Then again, the number of vehicles with this electric range is small and comparisons to EV's with less range wouldn't be too kind to the other guys. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools. Horsepower and torque There is one clear winner here, and that's the Jaguar I-Pace. It packs a whopping 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. That comes through a pair of electric motors (one at the front, another at the rear) that provide the Jag with all-wheel drive, the only one of these vehicles to offer it (at the moment). Altogether, it allows the I-Pace to have the best 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds. At the other end of the spectrum is the Hyundai Kona EV. It's front-drive, like the Bolt EV, and has effectively the same amount of horsepower as the Chevy at 201 horsepower, but its 0-60-mph time is almost a second slower. And the low-range version of the Kona, excluded because it doesn't go more than 200 miles between charges, is slower still. The Tesla Model 3 is the only vehicle with rear-wheel drive, and with a 0-60 mph of 5.1 seconds for the Long Range model, it is still very quick. Range and energy use Frequently, the all-consuming question with electric cars is, "How far can I go on a charge?" And to go the farthest, you need the long-range Tesla Model 3. It can go 310 miles. It has the added advantage of being able to use the network of Tesla Supercharger stations, though they are pay-per-use with the Model 3. Even the lower capacity Model 3, with just 220 miles of range, can use these stations.
