1956 Jaguar XK-140MC FHC

The XK 140 was introduced in October 1954, retaining the classic XK lines but with major changes in engineering and appearance. Inside the front seat and dashboard remained the same, but with considerably more leg room than the XK 120 because the engine block was moved forward on the chassis. There was also space behind the front seat. The Special Equipment models were designated "MC" and, like the car represented here, were fitted with wire wheels and Lucas FT576 fog lamps mounted above the front bumper. The dual exhaust system had two separate silencers and ran through holes in the chassis cross members, emerging below the rear overrides.
