Offered here is an incredibly sharp, numbers matching 1956 Jaguar XK140MC Fixed Head Coupe! Finished in classic Black over Red Leather interior and walnut veneer dash and door cappings, this rare FHC is fitted with Jaguar’s special edition “MC” performance option. This offering included a C-type head with larger exhaust valves with inlet and exhaust porting mated to the factory 3442cc DOHC Straight 6 giving the engine 20 additional horsepower for a total of 210hp! The MC option also included a heavier torsion bar suspension, true dual exhaust system, 16” 54-spoke wire wheels, and Lucas fog lamps! Additional appointments include 4-speed manual transmission, tinted sun visors, Smiths instrumentation, dealer installed air conditioning, telescopic steering column, dual fender mounted rearview mirrors, Leaping Jaguar hood ornament, and leather wrapped steering wheel!

This Jaguar is one of only 1,965 examples that delivered in left-hand-drive form from the factory in 1956. It was maintained by its former owner since 1992 and received a very competent restoration by Jon’s Jags here in St. Louis, MO several years ago. More recently in November, the car received a complete brake rebuild with new master cylinder, brake reservoir and lines, wheel cylinders, and brake hoses. The ignition system was serviced with new spark plugs and complete tune up. The radiator was recored and received a new cap, the fuel system was completely flushed and received a new SU electronic fuel pump and fuel filter. Both the front /rear bumpers, bumper guards, license plate holder and lamp were all rechromed and look excellent! New Firestone radial Blackwell tires and tubes were just installed with zero road miles!

This wonderful Jaguar will make for a terrific rally car and tourer for the driver enthusiast! It runs and drives with ease and is surprisingly quick for a car of its generation!! Complete with matching spare, jack, oiling can, storage key, and original Triplex glass.

The CEDAR CROSSING COLLECTION is proud to offer this truly stunning 1956 Jaguar XK140-MC Fixed Head Coupe. This exceptional classic has just completed a two-year "frame-off" restoration journey. No detail was left to chance. Our endeavor was to complete a perfect 100pt restored XK140-MC FHC, that, could compete on the highest level of Show Quality Events and Concours Judging Classic Car shows such as Pebble Beach, Amelia Island, and or own local St.Johns Concours d'Elegance in Northville, Michigan. This project envolved every aspect of restoration; Engine, Frame, Chassis, Chrome, Paint, Interiors, Tires, and all accessories. The devil is in the details: The Moto-Lita burled steering wheel, Dual English Racing stop watches, Leather Bonnet straps, British glove leather and wool interiors, complete stainless exhaust system from engine head to exhaust tips, British Fog and running lamps, Dayton Wire wheels and Tires, and the finest 7 coat Mirror Black paint application that only the finest artist could achieve. The camel pin-stipping is another intriguing detail. The car needs only a new collector-owner who wishs to own the finest Jag 140 in the country. Of course we have the Heritage Certificate from the factory, and detailed provenance of the car lifespan. This particular classic enjoys the luxury of having a dealer-installed air conditioning system. Please note the application in the rear passenger seating compartment in the photos. A very rare and wonderful addition, for those hot summer days at the car events. Please examine the photos to see the fabulous burled dash interior....the detail in the engine compartment, and the overall look and stance of the car. It's perfect in every way, and you'll find none better...anywhere.

Please feel free to come and examine this fine classic, and/or retain a Vehicle Inspection Company to come and scrutinize the cars restoration results. This fresh classic has less than 10 miles since completion....final road test miles. If you're after the finest example of this marque, you've found it here.

1956 Jaguar XK140 MC Fixed Head Coupe (FHC).

This gem presents very well, both on the exterior and interior at a concourse level restoration. The engine bay is tidy and clean, presenting wonderfully as well. The wire wheels are like new with new tires with extremely little use. The paint has little to no flaws. The chrome throughout is very well presented and pops on every corner of the car. The engine fires up instantly and drives wonderfully!

Recently servied to replace the fuel filter, adjustments to carburettors, and other small items.

You are viewing a stunning example of a 1956 Jaguar XK140 MC Fixed Head Coupe (FHC). The MC models in North America were upgraded with a few options; C-Type cylinder heads (carried over from the XK120 catalogue and producing 210 bhp at 5,750rpms), 2-inch sand-casted H8 Carburettors, heavier torsion bars and twin exhaust pipes.

The Fixed Head Coupé (FHC) shared the Drop Head Coupe's interior trim and rear seat. However, there is more interior space and more legroom in the fixed head coupes. Excellent interior trimmings and appointments. Racing style lap belts are used for safety and a rear air conditioning unit installed.
