Vehicle Detail
This is a 1957 XK140MC Coupe that has factory overdrive, this car also came with an MC engine from the factory, however at some point in time the original engine block and cylinder head were lost. XK140 MC Coupe is rare compare to standard 140 Coupe. When this car was purchased by its current owner in 2006 it did not come with an engine or gearbox.
