1955 Jaguar XK-140 Navigation
This Jaguar XK140MC Roadster is an original left-hand-drive, US-delivery example factory equipped with the 'MC' package. The MC option comprised the 'M' or 'Special Equipment' package, including a crankshaft damper, dual exhaust pipes, enlarged SU H8 carburetors, twin fog lamps, and wire-spoke wheels. The 'C' designation indicates the addition of a high-compression, LeMans proven C-Type cylinder head raising engine output to 210 horsepower.

The car was completed on February 28th of 1955 and on March 30th of that year, it was shipped stateside to a Los Angeles-based Jaguar distributor. The car received a concours-quality restoration during the early to mid-1980s.
