The XK140 was manufactured by Jaguar between 1954 and 1957 as the successor to the XK120. There was more interior space, better brakes, rack and pinion steering, increased suspension travel, and tubular shock absorbers. It was introduced in late 1954 and sold as a 1955 model. More substantial bumpers with overriders and flashing turn signals above the front bumper distinguish it from its predecessor. Power was from the 3.4-liter Jaguar XK dual overhead camshaft inline-6 engine making 190 horsepower. The roadsters have removable canvas and plastic side curtains on light alloy Barchetta-type doors, and a tonneau cover. The windscreen is removable for true open motoring.
This 1955 Jaguar XK140 Roadster, was found locally by the present owners after 35 years in storage. A ground-up restoration was performed in 2020. The XK140 has long been acknowledged as one of the most romantic sports cars ever built, making it a highly sought-after collectible automobile.
