Sellers description:
1956 Jaguar XK140 fhc MC, atching Numbers with Overdrive This is a very special, lack plate, alifornia car when considering the rarity and the amount of money already spend on mechanics and restoration. Original Black plates included. NO ROT or "knee-high" drama with this cat. This has always been a west coast car. This Jaguar and the body is simply exquisite as a restoration candidate. No metal replacement, o new body panels, OLID rockers, illar posts, tc. This is, n my opinion, he biggest selling point of this cat, nd the fact that the engine has been completely rebuilt and purrs as it should. Complete car, ncluding original radio, ll removable panels, nd many new parts as well.
As the Jaguar Trust Certificate shows, his is a very rare, ed on Red/Biscuit two-tone color combination Jaguar. I'll spare everyone the history of this car..if you are reading this, ou are well aware of its rarity and blue-chip potential. The car is comprehensively original, inus some restoration that started a last summer. This Jaguar purrs like a Jaguar should and has been driven during the summer months. Yes, ar runs and drives and I have enjoyed it on nice days as some restoration took place.
Here is what has been accomplished on this Jaguar thus far:
1- Rebuilt engine,
2- All brake components including re-sleeving wheel cylinders, tc. had been rebuilt and/or new parts.
3- All removable panels, ncluding mud guards front and rear, attery boxes, pare tire boot, anels on right/left of engine compartment, ransmission tunnel, riveshaft tunnel have been media blasted and powder coated black!
4- Transmission Tunnel and driveshaft tunnel are now fully removable to accommodate removal of transmission without pulling motor and transmission per Jaguar spec.
5- FULL stainless steel exhaust
6- Trunk compartment is completely media blasted, poxy primed, estored, nd painted using Diamont single stage Enamel. Paint will go with car. I decided to go with the 56' CARMINE Red instead of the Carmen red on the exterior of the car currently. My intention was to fit the Jaguar with the Red interior with Biscuit centers on the seats per original specs and the Carmine Red deep hue seemed such a better combination than the orangey-red on the car now.
7- All new wood floors and spare tyre lid.
8- AlUMINUM gas tank fitted to increase the look of this MC model
9- New Mallory dual point mechanical distributor- huge improvement on performance of engine.
9- Front windshield chrome is accounted for, ear window chrome is accounted for, ear tail light assemblies, tc. Everything that was removed to begin trunk restoration is accounted for and will go with car.
I have many new parts that go with the Jaguar as well, ncluding Rear chrome strip on boot lid of jaguar, ront floor jack covers, ody rubbers, olts, arker light assemblies, tc. Everything will go with car. Original steel gas tank and distributor are accounted for as well.
Note: only damage that I have seen in the the body is the passenger side rear fender. It has a skim coat of alumilead on the rear section of the fender. The rear must have been bumped at one time. The metal is all good and strong on the back side. I began to strip both rear quarters to make sure there were no surprises.
I believe this Jaguar will make someone very very enthusiastic about owning and hopefully restoring her as she is enjoyed. You will be getting a solid, atching numbers, unning and driving semi-restored Jaguar.
