Dark green with green interior. Just out of long-term ownership and storage, this barn-find is a non-running project that's been under single family ownership in California since 1965. 3.4-liter twin-cam inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Equipment consists of a tan soft top, twin SU carburetors, fender-mounted mirrors, and 16 knock-off wire wheels. The car will require a mechanical overhaul before it can be started and driven. Offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate. This desirable and rare Jaguar has a straight body with nice panel gaps and good door fit. An honest car that's full of integrity. Its special C-Type performance head makes it well worth the effort to restore. These cars are nearly impossible to find and this particular example comes complete and extremely original. A wonderful opportunity to own and restore an MC performance model XK140 DHC with C-Type cylinder head.
