Selling A Jaguar XK140

 

The successor to Jaguar’s highly successful XK120, the Jaguar XK140 is an exceptional sports car produced between 1954 and 1957. Upgrades to the auto included better brakes, rack and pinion steering, increased suspension travel and modern tube type shock absorbers in place of the older lever arm design. Produced in late 1954 and sold as a 1955 model, the primary visual change was the more substantial front and rear bumpers. Additionally, modern flashing turn signals, operated by a separate switch on the dash were installed. These twin amber lights positioned above the front bumper helped distinguish the XK140 from the XK120 and owners of the 120 started installing the same equipment. If you are looking to sell Jaguar XK140 or XK150 autos, you will be interested to know that the XK140 was the first Jaguar sports car to be offered with an automatic transmission.

 

Jaguar XK140 Seller’s Tips

The Jaguar XK140 was available in three body styles. The Open Two-Seater (OTS) Roadster had a lightweight canvas top that would disappear inside the body when lowered. The interior was also trimmed in leather, including the dash and had removable plastic side curtains on light alloy doors. The Drop Head Coupe (DHC) not only had real wind-up windows but also had a permanently mounted soft top that sat above the body when lowered. This model was known for its walnut-veneered dash and door inserts. Lastly, the Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) also offered the elegant walnut-veneered dash and door inserts and mounted a windscreen further forward, giving it considerably more interior space than the DHC. You will find that all Jaguar Roadsters and Jaguar Coupe autos are not the same. When it comes time to sell Jaguar XK140 vehicles, be sure to research your specific model and production year.
