Sellers description:
matching number (head & block) 1955 140 MC Roadster. According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate (pictured) Chassis number S810323 originally left the factory sporting a red exterior with biscuit leather, piped in red (sand top). The car has had a frame off restoration started, which includes a comprehensive list of work with new and rebuilt parts as well as numerous receipts.

Easily, tens of thousands of dollars have already been spent on this project.

* Chassis # S810323
* Engine #1484-8S
* Body # F10327

The body is excellent with solid metal and wonderful panel fit. The paint is uniform but older, nicked and generally, “shop worn”. The engine has had a complete rebuild and has been tested (run on engine stand), transmission, rear axle, steering rack have all been rebuilt as well. The body is currently sitting on the frame, not bolted down. Listed are just SOME of the rebuilt and or new parts (some with prices):

* Water pump
* Harmonic balancer ($225.00)
* Fan pulley
* Carburetors (rebuilt)
* Starter (rebuilt)
* Generator (rebuilt)
* Steering rack (rebuilt/$405.95)
* Rebuilt front suspension
* Porcelain manifolds, new ($550.00)
* Master cylinder
* Brake shoes, new
* Wheel cylinders, new
* Brake lines, new
* Brake hoses, new
* Spring shackles
* Pedal bushings
* Leaf springs, new
* Shocks, new
* Complete wiring harness, new ($795.00)
* Complete rear axle rebuild
* Rebuilt transmission
* Rebuilt engine

Please note that while a tremendous amount of time and money (records & receipts included) has been spent on this rare automobile it is not being sold as a complete car, as there are parts missing, most notably, front and rear bumpers, windshield frame and top frame assembly, gas tank and one seat back. The car has a transferable NYS Registration (clear title).
