Jaguar Cars of Britain is well known for making some fine sporting machines during its long history. Before we had examples such as the breathtaking E-Type, or XK-E in North America, machines like the XK120, XK140 and XK150 ruled the roost. These were fine sports cars meant to embody the spirit of driving, and targeted at those who desired the best blend of luxury and driving pleasure. Between 1954 and 1957, it was the turn of the XK140 which brought more interior space as well as upgraded mechanicals over the XK120 which it replaced. A total of 8,937 cars was made during this time, with just 1,959 fixed-head coupes produced in left-hand drive. That makes this 1956 Jaguar XK140 one of 1,959 units, a statistic that places it in greater rarity than some supercars! If you’d like to be its next custodian, this 3.4-liter machine awaits your kind consideration in New Albany, Ohio.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a blue coat of paint, this 1956 Jaguar XK140 is quintessentially Fifties British sports car at its finest. There’s no mistaking it for an American car, or something produced by the Continent. Its wire wheels with knock-off hubs, rear spare tire compartment, large circular headlamps and chrome bumpers all mark it out as a product of Great Britain. In fact, the car’s slightly upwards facing stance lends it an eager proposition, almost like it’s waiting to be driven! As you step aboard its passenger cabin, replete with burl wood dashboard and door caps, red leather seats and red carpeting, you’ll be greeted by Smiths instrumentation and a two-plus-two seating configuration. Yes, you can take your kids in this car and they’ll likely put down their smartphones to take in the experience. Behind the classic outlook lies a modernized sound system too, making this car great for those who crave driving tunes while enjoying a cruise.
