Jaguar offered a Special Equipment performance package for the XK-140 and examples so equipped, such as this Open Two-Seater, were designated MC models. The MC engine featured a higher-compression 'C-Type' cylinder head and had a dual exhaust system. Other updates included a pair of Lucas FT576 fog lamps, which were mounted above the front bumper, and a 210 horsepower engine.
This XK 140MC rolled off the line in Coventry on September 25th of 19555. It was finished in a triple blue combination of Pastel Blue over Dark Blue leather with Light Blue piping and a Blue top. It was dispatched to Hornburg in Los Angeles though it was not registered until 1957. It wears an older restoration and is currently finished in Carmine Red with tan hides.
The car was previously owned by James Schnute of Glen Ellyn Illinois and joined the Oldenburg Family Collection in May of 2006.
In 2013 this car was offered for sale at Bonhams Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $94,300 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2013
