The car was completed in the gorgeous color combination of Red with Biscuit/Red leather (Duotone) interior. Prior to our purchase of this car, t was sitting for about a year, o we had to go through everything on this great car. This work is documented in the form of invoices and receipts, s well as some pictures of the engine work done. Furthermore, here are pictures from the prior restoration of the car. This XK140 runs and drives wonderful. During the restoration, his Jaguar was fitted was an original electric overdrive which engages nicely in 4th gear. The oil pressure is excellent as is the compression which is 1)-155 psi, )155, )150, )145, )150, )145. This car comes with the Heritage Certificate to confirm numbers match and also to confirm that was indeed an original XK140 SE with the C-type head.
Overall, his is a beautiful example of a rare Jaguar XK140MC Roadster. This car was completed to be an exceptional show/driver car and we would say an excellent #2 condition car.
