Description

Jaguar introduced it in October 1954 as the successor to the XK 120. By 1957, just under 9,000 examples had been produced in three body variants. The range was based on the Fixed Head Coupé (FHC), a closed coupé with a fixed roof, designed for sporty touring. The XK 140 Open Two Seater (OTS) is a classic two-seater roadster with a simpler, removable soft top and side curtains. **With around 2,740 vehicles built, the Drop Head Coupé (DHC) is the rarest version. **The more comfortable convertible features a lined folding soft top, wind-up windows and higher-quality interior trim. Beneath the long bonnet is a water-cooled 3.4-litre inline six-cylinder engine with twin overhead camshafts. It is equipped with the optional C-Type cylinder head producing 210 bhp (approximately 213 PS). This made speeds of around 200 km/h possible. For the 1950s, this was an outstanding figure.
