    VIN# S812408

    This is a rare XK140-MC roadster for fix up. It has original VIN tag with matching original motor, head and block, and transmission. Mechanically , it runs out excellent and shifts good. Recent brake work and new stainless exhaust and fuel pump. It will need complete paint, chrome, and interior. Great value on a rare XK.

    Car now offered at:

    vandp.net/sales/2198/1956-jaguar-xk140mc-special-equipment-ots-rhd/

    Seller's description:

    Price: £145,000

    1956 Jaguar XK140MC Special Equipment OTS RHD

    Chassis Number: S812408

    Registration Number: WAF560 (To be retained by Owner.)

    Nut & bolt restored 5 years ago to as new. Since then the car has covered just over 1000 miles per year bringing the total up to 6431 miles since restoration. The works undertaken are needless to say extensive to say the least & include the following:

    Total body off restoration to the specification of business owner for personal use as fast tourer

    Converted to Right hand Drive

    Chassis blasted and powder coated

    All chassis components blasted and plated

    Suspension re-bushed etc

    Disc brakes to front

    Power steering installed

    All new wiring harness

    New spoked wheels in body colour pacific blue

    Bodywork blasted to bare metal, repaired when necessary 

    Sprayed with jaguar pacific blue colour

    Under bonnet panels replaced where necessary.

    Engine rebuilt and fitted with new alternator and starter

    New Guy Broad 5 speed box fitted

    Radiator re cored

    Electric fan and guy broad multi blade fan fitted

    Stainless exhaust

    All new interior with Bucket seats

    New Mohair hood and tonneau in matching blue

    All chrome either re plated (by Derby plating) or replaced with new.

    All switches replaced.

    I believe this car is probably one of the best available and a pleasure to drive with the sensible modifications. The car simply put wants for nothing. Far more has been spent upon it then the asking price & it is totally sorted & a wonderful car to drive with no rattles or creaks whatsoever; a testament to the quality of the restoration.

    The car is finished in Jaguar Pacific Blue with a tan interior.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
