    Original 1957 Jaguar XK140 MC Roadster with Matching Numbers

    This extremely original 1957 Jaguar XK140 MC Roadster is a matching numbers example and an exciting project in need of straightforward restoration. Silver with burgundy leather interior. Just out of a large collection where it has been sitting in storage and is not currently running. A complete car that's highly original and never been restored. This Jaguar is among the desirable Special Equipment or SE models, as denoted by the S prefix to the chassis number. This example was also fitted with the optional C-Type cylinder head, which increased engine output to a stout 210 bhp. In all, approximately 2,028 left-hand-drive XK140 Roadsters were factory equipped with both the SE package and C-Type head, a combination often referred to as the MC model. Given its relatively limited production numbers, ideal factory specification, and eligibility for some of the most popular driving events and concours, this XK140 MC Roadster represents an exciting opportunity for the enthusiast looking for a worthy and rewarding restoration project.

    Rare, desirable, and highly collectible XK140 "MC" Roadster

    Desirably optioned with Special Equipment package and C-Type Head

    Matching numbers example

    Never restored, the ideal candidate for restoration

    Price: $49,500

    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?
