JAGUAR XK140 SE DHC

The Jaguar XK140 DHC, successor to the XK120, was introduced in 1954 and sold from 1955 to 1957. Whereas the XK120 was built with a focus on  speed,  the XK140 was built  for more ease of driving and comfort. Because the engine in the XK140 is placed about 10 centimeters further forward, the legroom was increased and the car became suitable for taller people.

With the transition from the XK120 to the XK140, the characteristic lines have been retained. Jaguar built the XK140 as a Roadster (OTS, Open Two-Seater where the soft-top folds away behind the seats and the windscreen can be removed),  Cabriolet (DHC, Drop Head Coupe where the soft-top remains visible when folded) and Coupé (FHC, Fixed Head Coupe).
