The Jaguar XK XK140 was built from 1954 to 1957.
The XK140 Roadster, the most traded version: The XK140 refined Lyons' original masterpiece with more power and improved ergonomics while maintaining the essential XK character. The upgraded 190-hp engine provided noticeably stronger performance, dropping 0-60 times to 8.4 seconds while pushing top speed to 125 mph. Rack-and-pinion steering replaced the XK120's recirculating ball system, dramatically improving road feel and precision. The roadster remained the purest expression of the XK concept, with 3,347 examples built representing the sweet spot between the XK120's pioneering status and the XK150's luxury focus. Collectors appreciate the XK140's improved drivability without the complexity of later models. The roadster's clean lines and enhanced performance make it an excellent choice for driving enthusiasts who want authentic XK experience with better reliability. Values remain reasonable compared to XK120s, offering exceptional entry into classic Jaguar sports car ownership.
