The Jaguar XK 140, introduced in 1954, was the successor to the legendary Jaguar XK 120. Technically the 140 was based on its predecessor and its chassis and suspension were taken over more or less unchanged. The basic inline 6-cylinder engine with 3’442 cc was based on the SE variant of the XK120 and delivered 190 break horsepower while the “S”-version with the C type head delivered 210 brake horsepower. Externally the XK 120's design with a split windscreen and the rounded hips was taken over more or less unchanged. The XK 140 received one-piece bumpers with overriders to the front, bumpers with overriders to the back and direction indicators above the front bumper. The car was available as roadster, coupé and as a cabriolet called “drophead coupé”. The example offered, one of only 2’310 “drophead coupé's” with left hand drive was delivered to the USA and first registered in 1957. The history of the Jaguar is not known until it was acquired in Connecticut by an enthusiast at the beginning of 2024 and imported into Switzerland. Apparently restored some years ago, the XK was prepared for the stringent Swiss MOT and finally registered here for the first time in December 2024. The rare cabriolet still boasts its matching-numbers engine and is in good overall condition and it will be sold with the last MOT from December 2024 to a new Jaguar enthusiast.
