Market commentary
The aftermarket stuff on this pretty XK140 MC Coupe makes it more usable, and the bidders appropriately balanced the loss of 'correctness' with the payoff in driving enjoyment. Even a tick over the high estimate the style, quality and driving enjoyment of this Jag is deftly valued.
