The Jaguar XK 140 replaced the famous XK 120 and was brought onto the market in 1954. The XK 140 was an evolution of the XK 120 with some visual differences and technical improvements. The handsome and dynamic features remained largely unchanged. New was the grille, which counted fewer vertical bars; the rear lights were larger, the bumpers were thicker, and the front indicators, which were placed on the front of the front wing. The important technical improvement was that the XK 140 was provided with a rack and pinion steering which greatly improved steering and driving. De 3.4-litre XK engine was increased by an extra 30 hp. and produced a standard 190 hp. from that time onwards. XK 140s that were provided with the SE option ("Special Equipment") were fitted with an engine giving 210 hp. Like the XK 120, the XK 140 was available as roadster, a larger DHC (Drop Head Coupe) and as FHC (Fixed Head Coupe) with a fixed steel roof. The XK 140
was built until 1957 and was succeeded by the Six-cylinder
engine Jaguar XK 140 3.4 Litre Drop Head Coupe (DHC), year 1955. Colour black with a red leather interior. Black mohair soft top and hood cover. This very beautiful 'matching numbers' Jaguar XK 140 was fully and 'body off' restored in The Netherlands in the year 2005. This exquisite automobile is in superb (excellent+) condition and the car drives perfect. The 3.4 Litre six cylinder in-line engine sports a C-type cylinder head. This XK 140 features disc brakes at the front wheels, power brakes, EZ electric power steering, overdrive, chrome wire wheels, Stainless Steel exhaust system and 123 electronic ignition.
