LOL, funny how it's always the old fogies who can afford the nicest cars! Work all your life to save enough money, and by the time you have enough yer too old to really get the full benefit! All the same, I can't resent them their nice classic rides; I hope I'll be driving something that nice when (and if) I ever reach 80! Not too much else to live for at that age; I guess they deserve to have Jaguars...almost as good as sex, really.
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old DOHC Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
Absolutely gorgeous car. My dad had an XK140MC Roadster, bought when I was 11 and I could hardly wait to turn 16 to drive it...which I did get to do. I agree with Lascalpab..sexiest auto ever. That was a long time ago. Wish I still had it.
Hi alexandred. The car is my cousins, not mine. He told me it wasn't the original engine although it is made by Jaguar. Forgotten details other than it has large twin SUs. Sorry can't be of more help.
my dad had the same car!

This is by far the sexiest automobile ever built.
Actually it's the sexiest artefact ever built..
One of these should be buried in a time capsule so future generation could acknowledge that we had pretty good taste, sometimes..
