    Car now offered at:

    classiccars.com/listings/view/1959569/1956-jaguar-xk140-for-sale-in-dyer-indiana ...

    Seller's description:

    Price: $89,900

    Location:Dyer, Indiana

    1956 Jaguar XK140 MC roadster

    Exterior Color: British Racing Green

    Interior Color: Biscuit

    Transmission: Manual

    Odometer: 5287

    With the very rare C Type package.

    This Jaguar XK140 is the very limited MC version, from the factory, with the upgraded C-type package that includes the C-type high compression cylinder head that increases the horse power from 190 to 210, special suspension for better and more precise handling with telescopic shock absorbers, wire wheels, driving lights, windshield squirters, dual exhaust.

    The exact mileage is not known as the mileage was set back to zero when the car was restored and currently the odometer reads 5,287 miles. 

    Top this off with everybody’s favorite color for a Jaguar XK140 of British Racing Green with Biscuit leather interior and the tightest, best looking convertible top on a XK140. The car of course has side curtains to match the top. Car comes with a full Tonneau cover.

    Also with the C upgrade package on this car at 210 hp were known to outrun a 1956 Corvette both on acceleration and top speed. 

    This is a true and very rare Jaguar XK140 that has everything in place for “show time” or long range touring. This is absolutely a show car that can also be driven long distances as it was meant to be. 

    Vehicle Highlights: 

    Engine: Matching-numbers 3.4L inline-six, Type C

    Transmission: 4-speed manual.

    Restoration: Comprehensive, concours-quality restoration completed in the early 2000s

    Condition: Show-quality throughout – always garage-kept and meticulously maintained. Restored circa 2000.

    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?
