The Jaguar XK 140 MC DHC is one of the most elegant and sought-after British sports cars of the 1950s. As an evolution of the legendary XK 120, the XK 140 combined improved driving characteristics with greater comfort and refinement, without losing the sporting character of its predecessor. Thanks to its long bonnet, graceful lines and powerful inline six-cylinder engine, the XK series became an absolute icon in the classic automotive world.

This 1957 example is the highly desirable MC (“Modified Competition”) version, combined with the stylish Drop Head Coupé body style. The MC versions featured improved performance thanks to a sportier cylinder head and twin exhaust configuration, making these models especially sought after today among collectors and enthusiasts of classic Jaguars.

This XK 140 MC DHC benefits from a good professional restoration and is presented in an elegant blue colour scheme that perfectly suits the exclusive character of this British classic. The combination of the manual gearbox with overdrive also provides a particularly pleasant and relaxed driving experience, both on country roads and during longer journeys.

Thanks to its iconic design, rich motorsport history and ever-increasing collector value, the Jaguar XK 140 MC remains one of the most desirable classic Jaguars on the market.
