The Jaguar XK-140 was produced from 1954 to 1957 as the successor to the beloved XK-120. A super sports car of the 1950s, the XK140 offered increased interior space compared to its predecessor and had improved brakes, rack and pinion steering, and an upgraded suspension.
This Jaguar XK140 was purchased by Earl Larsen of Massachusetts in this non-standard color combination of Pastel Blue paint with a red interior and French Grey top - and it presents with its original paint, interior, and top today. Earl Larsen owned the car for 38 years, until 1994, when it was acquired by Swiss Jaguar collector, Stephan Ziegler, who nicknamed it 'Marvel of Marvels,' keeping it for 28 years. Never restored, this XK140 remains remarkably original.
