Description:
-Bright Red over Biscuit leather interior, Biscuit Carpeting andTan soft top, 3.4 Liter DOHC Inline 6-Cylinder engine with Twin SUCarburetors producing 210 HP at 5,000 RPM and 5-speed manualgearbox. Following up from the very successful XK-120 and rather than messwith a good thing, Jaguar made numerous refinements to create thenew XK140. The same beautiful lines were retained with subtlerefinements to the bumpers and body trim. The engine was movedforward by three inches to address complaints of crampedaccommodations and the standard engine was now the 190 horsepowerversion of the 3.4 liter inline six, with the return of the MCoption and its 210 horsepower output. Straight line performance wasabout the same as the XK120, but the road holding had been vastlyimproved thanks to the addition of rack and pinion steering,telescopic dampers, larger brakes and additional suspension travel.These improvements made the XK 140 more comfortable, predictableand enjoyable to drive.

This beautiful XK140 OTS is a highly desirable "MC" model, equippedfrom new with dual exhausts, wire wheels and the free-breathingC-Type cylinder head.
