Advertised for sale in South Australia and Victoria in 2010. Said to be a highly original car and to have entered the Pebble Beach concours d'elegance in California - in 1958!

Auction description:
Lot No. 133
1957 JAGUAR XK140 M.C. LHD ROADSTER
This left hand drive example of the M.C. roadster, known in the U.K. as the special equipment model, is a multiple concours entrant. It was delivered new to the US, like so many XK cars which were much admired by Hollywood actors such as Robert Mitchum. This 1957 four-speed manual XK140 is in very original condition though it has benefitted from paint and re-trimming. It was built as a show car for the US market and features chromed plug lead loom and other engine components.
