1956 Jaguar XK-140 Navigation
The 1956 Jaguar XK140-MC Drop Head Coupe is a posh performer. Housed within its elegant coachwork is a 210 horsepower, DOHC straight-6 engine capable of an advertised top speed of 125 miles per hour. Unlike its inspirational predecessor, the XK120 that won Le Mans in 1951-53, the XK140's refined interior features more legroom for the driver, wool carpeting, leather seats, and is graced with a burled walnut dash and door caps.
This car, chassis number S 817650, was shipped new to Hoffman, New York, in 1955, titled as a 1956 model year, and had multiple owners in the northeast United States. It was a barn find in 1976, underwent partial restorations in the 1970s and 1990s, and has remained in the current owner's family since. In 2022, the car completed a full frame-off restoration and was brought to concours quality.
