VEHICLE DESCRIPTION

Grace, Power, and Open-Air Elegance

The Jaguar XK140 carried forward the brilliance of the XK120 while refining it for greater comfort, drivability, and performance. This 1956 XK140 Drophead Coupe, presented in elegant black over a red interior, represents one of the most sought-after configurations—equipped with the “MC” package, which delivered competition-bred enhancements straight from Jaguar’s racing success.

The MC specification added the coveted C-Type cylinder head and dual SU carburetors to the 3.4-liter inline-six, increasing output to 210 horsepower. Paired with a manual transmission, it provides an engaging, spirited driving experience, showcasing the very DNA that propelled Jaguar to Le Mans victories in the 1950s. With 12,373 miles showing, this example has been carefully preserved, blending mechanical authenticity with collectability.

The Drophead Coupe body style combines the XK140’s signature long, flowing lines with the versatility of a fully folding convertible top, making it a true grand tourer. Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewall tires, and tasteful detailing underscore its period charm, while the black paintwork provides a striking contrast against the vivid red interior.

Inside, the cabin reflects Jaguar’s blend of sporting intent and British craftsmanship. Leather-trimmed seats, polished wood accents, and period-correct instruments surround the driver, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury and purpose.

The 1956 Jaguar XK140 MC Drophead Coupe is more than just a classic—it is a piece of Jaguar’s racing-inspired heritage, offering open-air motoring with timeless elegance and exhilarating performance. A significant opportunity for collectors who value both provenance and beauty.
