Introduced in 1954, the XK140 shared the same bewitching silhouette as its XK120 predecessor but was more accommodating and better to drive thanks to an enlarged cabin and rack and pinion steering. Powered by Jaguar’s legendary, Le Mans-proven 3. 4 litre XK DOHC engine allied to either manual or automatic transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 120mph. Available in Roadster, Drophead Coupe and Fixed Head Coupe guises, the latter featured a wooden dashboard and 2+2-seating.
