Jaguar XK140 OTS 1956
General description :
With the Jaguar XK 120 William Lyons set the standard. The car was an absolute sensation at the Earl's Court Motor Show in London in 1948. Developed for higher engine power the sports car was called the XK from the autumn of 1954. The car should have gone 140 mph, i.e. about 225 km/h. Designed very much like the gifted XK 120 it was technically improved in many details and has thus become pinnacle of the entire series. A sports car cannot be more of a classic than this very car.The XK 140 shown here was delivered as a left-hand drive to the US. Approved in Germany, the magnificent Roadster was until now owned by a collector. After current service, the sports car has enough power for all types of uses. Enjoy the Jaguar: driving performance like a Mercedes 300 SL but with a down to earth price.
