Additional description from above auction:
Lot 336
1955 Jaguar XK140 3.4-liter MC Roadster
Chassis no. S811687
Engine no. G5224-8S
• 3.4-liter, DOHC, 210hp inline six
• Four-speed manual transmission
• Desirable MC specification
• Beautifully proportioned
This XK 140 MC rolled off the line in Coventry on September 25, 1955 a lovely triple blue combination of Pastel Blue over Dark Blue leather with Light Blue piping and a Blue top. Dispatched to Hornburg in Los Angeles, it was not registered until 1957. Featuring an older restoration, the car shows well today in Carmine Red with tan hides and top. Previously owned by James Schnute of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, the Jag joined the Oldenburg Family Collection in May 2006.
One of the best looking cars ever built, the XK 140 most definitely fulfills the three basic provisos that Sir William Lyons claimed all Jaguars would meet: grace, space, and pace.
Without reserve
Sold for US$ 94,300 inc. premium
Please note, this Jaguar is titled as a 1957.
