MASERATI OF SACRAMENTO IS PROUD TO OFFER:
1956 JAGUAR XK140 MC ROADSTER
Chassis number S811630D/N
Engine number G4870-8S
Body number F11683
Gearbox number JLE31423
This is a fully restored Jaguar XK140 MC Opern Two Seater that is numbers matching and is in excellent condition. It is also Heritage Trust certified by Jaguar Daimler! Over $40k in recent receipts have been spent after a full 2008 restoration to make this an incredible driver. After purchasing the car in 2009 the current owner had Dan Kelly, owner of British Car Service in Sacramento go through this restored 140 MC and complete the mechanicals. After the 2008 restoration the Jag showed extremely well with a new interior, paint, and carpets, and the body was straight and showed no signs of previous body work or rust, but it was found that it required extensive mechanical work. This was a 1st rate no expense spared mechanical overhaul that was performed by Dan Kelly over the course of three years. He also added other modern features to increase the driving pleasure and reliability including a power break unit, Pertronix electronic ignition, thermostat operated electric fan, and an aluminum radiator to round out the modern conveniences. Less than a 1,000 miles have been driven since the work has been done to correctly break in the power train. This 140 starts the first time every time and can be driven reliably. Even in hot weather!

You will not find a better Jaguar XK140 to own.

This handsome XK140MC Roadster was completed August 24, 1955 and delivered to the Charles Hornburg Motor Company in Los Angeles on September 5th. Its first owner is unknown, but the car eventually found its way to the east coast where it was restored cosmetically. Around 2007 it came into the possession of Mr. Derek Gilchrist, who had the car's engine, transmission, and rear axle overhauled by Dan Kelly at British Car Service in Sacramento, California. Additional attention was also given to the interior. To address the chronic overheating issues common to this series, a modern aluminum radiator with an electric cooling fan was fitted. Restoration costs exceeded $150,000 over a three-year period. In October of 2012, the car was consigned for sale in Sacramento, and was purchased by the current owner. The car had been fully serviced by Dan Kelly's shop prior to sale.

Showing just 68,817 miles at the time of cataloging (which is believed to be the original and correct total), this fine yellow-plate XK140MC roadster is offered in striking red paint with a black leather interior, black canvas top and tonneau cover, a set of correct side curtains, a handsome Motolita wood-and-alloy steering wheel, sparkling chromed-plated wire wheels, spare, jack, and tool roll. An interesting accessory is a special hardwood tool that allows the chrome-plated knock-off spinners to be removed and installed without damage to the plating.
The car is supplied with a Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate.
