Gearbox No. JLE 33563

Body No. F 11909

Documents US Registration

Offered from The Charles J. Noto Collection

Beautifully presented example of a classic British sports car

Sought-after MC model with original body, engine, chassis, and gearbox

Accompanied by Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate

One of some 3,350 XK 140 Roadsters produced between late 1954 and 1957, the example offered here is identified on its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate as an original sought-after MC model, featuring a 210-horsepower engine with a C-Type-style Le Mans cylinder head, dual exhaust, and four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Built with left-hand-drive for the American market, it was shipped on 17 January 1956 to Charles Hornburg’s renowned distributorship in Los Angeles.

Charles J. Noto acquired the Jaguar from a seller in his home state of New York in 2006. While the car was intended to be a “driver,” his usual fastidious nature led to a complete restoration of the roadster at his in-house facility, with the body refinished in the period-correct hue of Carmen Red and the interior in tan leather, overseen by a black fabric top. The quality of the workmanship throughout is excellent, and as with Mr. Noto’s other “driver,” his 1953 Buick Skylark, the presentation is still immaculate and to the same standard as the other vehicles in his collection, as fewer than 200 of the 98,118 miles recorded have been traveled since restoration. Examination shows that the car retains its original body and chassis, the latter properly stamped in the expected location, as well as the original matching-numbers engine—both cylinder head and block—and gearbox.

Exciting both to admire and to drive, it is no wonder this Jaguar captured the heart of its otherwise prewar-focused owner. It would be a delight to use on Long Island, or anywhere else its new owner cares to take it.
