Vehicle Description

Up for auction is this XK140 MC Fixed Head Coupe. The most desirable version of the XK-140 with dual exhaust, fog lamps and the C-type head producing 210BHP. This is a California car that is a good candidate for a total restoration. Car was put into dry storage for 40 years having covered 62,000 miles. This is a straight car without sagging doors and with only surface rust. The floors are solid with only minor rust through in the trunk. The interior was re-done in vinyl at some point.

I am listing the car for a friend of mine. The current owner purchased the car nine years ago with the intent of restoring the car. He is losing his storage building and his restorer has passed away. He spent $9,000 getting the car to run properly, rebuilding the brakes and replacing the exhaust system. The car will go to the highest bidder, there is no buy it now feature. Funds must be wired to the owner within 7 days of the end of the auction. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. Questions or an in person inspection are welcome. Thank you for your interest.
