This 1956 Jaguar XK140 Drophead Coupe, painted in Old English White, exemplifies British automotive craftsmanship. A production record trace certificate accompanies this XK140, confirming its authentic heritage. The sleek body lines flow gracefully from the iconic Jaguar grille to the sculpted rear, accentuated by chrome bumpers and wire wheels wrapped in 6.00-R16 97Q tires. The tan cloth convertible top provides versatility, allowing open-air cruising or enclosed comfort.  Inside, the tan leather interior exudes luxury. Bucket seats with a floor-mounted shifter offer a driver-focused layout. The Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel adds a touch of sportiness while maintaining the classic aesthetic. Custom floor mats protect the carpeting, blending practicality with style. The simple yet elegant dashboard houses essential gauges, keeping the driver informed without unnecessary clutter.  The 3.4-liter inline-six engine matches the data tag and Production Record Trace certificate. This powerplant breathes through twin SU carburetors, delivering smooth acceleration. The four-speed manual transmission, numbered JL34422CR, also aligns with the vehicle's documentation. Performance upgrades include Wilwood front disc brakes for improved stopping power, electric power steering for effortless maneuvering, and an electric cooling fan with an updated radiator to maintain optimal operating temperatures.

1956 Jaguar XK140 SE Roadster Matching Numbers According to the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, this XK140 Roadster was completed on February 9, 1956, and dispatched new to Jaguar Cars of New York. This Jaguar is among the desirable Special Equipment or SE models, as denoted by the S prefix to the chassis number. This example was also fitted with the optional C-Type cylinder head, which increased engine output to a stout 210 bhp. In all, approximately 2,028 left-hand-drive XK140 Roadsters were factory equipped with both the SE package and C-Type head, a combination often referred to as the MC model. Originally finished in Cream with Red leather upholstery and a Black soft top. Recently discovered in long-term, single family ownership, this XK140 SE Roadster is the ideal candidate for straightforward restoration. Displaying 82,024 miles on the odometer, this unrestored Jaguar retains its original, matching-numbers engine (block and head), chassis, and body per the JDHT certificate on file. Just out of long-term storage and not currently running, it will require mechanical attention prior to road use. Given its relatively limited production numbers, ideal factory specification, and eligibility for some of the most popular driving events and concours, this XK140 SE Roadster represents an exciting opportunity for the enthusiast looking for a worthy and rewarding restoration project.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 9 - 10 October 2024. rnOffered Without Reserve | $130,000 - $160,000 USD rnrnOffered from The Charles J. Noto CollectionrnBeautifully presented example of a classic British sports carrnSought-after MC model with original body, engine, chassis, and gearboxrnAccompanied by Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificatern rnrnFrom the moment of its introduction in 1948, the brilliant XK 120 established Jaguar at the very forefront of postwar sports car manufacturers, thanks to its modern yet graceful lines and impressive performance. Its original design was updated for late 1954 as the XK 140, which featured revised styling as well as a larger, more powerful engine, part of a comprehensive list of subtle improvements designed to maintain Jaguar's appeal, especially in the all-important US market.rnrnOne of some 3,350 XK 140 Roadsters produced between late 1954 and 1957, the example offered here is identified on its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate as an original sought-after MC model, featuring a 210-horsepower engine with a C-Type-style Le Mans cylinder head, dual exhaust, and four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Built with left-hand-drive for the American market, it was shipped on 17 January 1956 to Charles Hornburg's renowned distributorship in Los Angeles.rnrnCharles J. Noto acquired the Jaguar from a seller in his home state of New York in 2006. While the car was intended to be a driver, his usual fastidious nature led to a complete restoration of the roadster at his in-house facility, with the body refinished in the period-correct hue of Carmen Red and the interior in tan leather, overseen by a black fabric top. The quality of the workmanship throughout is excellent, and as with Mr. Noto's other driver, his 1953 Buick Skylark, the presentation is still immaculate and to the same standard as the other vehicles in his collection, as fewer than 200 of the 98,118 miles recorded have been traveled since restoration. Examination shows that the car retains its original body and chassis, the latter properly stamped in the expected location, as well as the original matching-numbers engine-both cylinder head and block-and gearbox.rnrnExciting both to admire and to drive, it is no wonder this Jaguar captured the heart of its otherwise prewar-focused owner. It would be a delight to use on Long Island, or anywhere else its new owner cares to take it.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
