About this car

The XK140 was Jaguar's 1950s update of the XK120, and the fixed-head coupe remains one of the more usable ways into early XK ownership. This 1956 car is an unusual one for its age, with a stated 44,888 miles and only two owners.

The most recent keeper owned it from 1998. It comes with a large history file. The dealer reports the car is in good condition and drives well, with a tidy interior. There are a few cracks in the paint in places you would expect on a car of this age. The original registration number is being retained by the seller and will not pass to the new owner.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Jaguar factory rating for the standard 3.4 XK engine (190 bhp gross; SE/C-type head versions were rated higher). Weight and performance figures came from period road tests rather than the factory, so they are left null.).
