About the 1954 Jaguar XK140 Coupe

The XK140 refined William Lyons' stunning XK120 formula with crucial improvements that serious collectors appreciate today. The 3.4-liter twin-cam six gained 30 horsepower over its predecessor, while rack-and-pinion steering replaced the vague recirculating ball setup. More importantly, Jaguar moved the engine forward three inches, dramatically improving weight distribution and handling balance. The coupe's graceful proportions remain timelessly elegant, with that distinctive long hood and flowing roofline. Only 2,797 coupes were built during the three-year run, making them significantly rarer than the roadster. Values have climbed steadily as collectors recognize the XK140's sweet spot in the lineage, more refined than the XK120, yet retaining the purity lost in the heavier XK150.
