VW Kombi Van Seeing Resurgence in Popularity

The Volkswagen Kombi van reached iconic status, with even a school lunch box fashioned in its image. During those early years, the Volkswagen Microbus morphed into various forms. From a cargo carrier with no windows behind the driver's seat to a windowed passenger van with three rows of seats, the possibilities seemed endless.

Classic Car Overview

--Black over Saddle Tan Leather upholstery Piped Dark Green with matching Green carpeting, 3.4 Liter DOHC six-cylinder engine, 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, Factory MC optioned, Restored. Following up from the very successful XK-120, Jaguar made various refinements to create the new XK140. The same beautiful lines were retained with subtle refinements to the bumpers and body trim. The engine was moved forward by three inches to allow for far better interior cabin room and comfort as compared to its predecessor, the standard engine was 190 horsepower version of Jaguars 3.4 liter inline six. With the return of the MC option (another 20 HP), power was further enhanced to a 210 horsepower output. Straight line performance was about the same as the XK120, but the road holding had been vastly improved thanks to the addition of rack and pinion steering, telescopic dampers as well as larger brakes and advance suspension geometry. These improvements made the XK 140 more comfortable, predictable and enjoyable to drive. This beautiful XK140 FHC is a highly desirable MC model, equipped from new with Twin SU Carburetors producing 210 HP at 5,000 RPM, dual exhausts and 16 wire wheels. Further enhancements include Wilwood front disc brake upgrade, discreet bluetooth audio, aluminum radiator and benefits from long term service and restoration (reciepts on file) and complete repaint with complete upholstery retrim including lambswool floor coverings and green seatbelts. This XK-140-MC is offered with Ratchet, spare wheel/tire and large history/receipts file. A stunning color combination in excellent condition throughout, mechanically serviced and sorted, this XK140 MC is a wonderful candidate for many of the worlds prestigious vintage rallies. Also as comfortable for local, weekend, seasonal touring pleasure as well as on the concours lawn.
