Jaguar’s first post-WWII sports car was unveiled at the Earl’s Court Motor Show in London in 1948. It was equipped with a brand new and very modern engine, with double overhead camshafts. Sir William Lyons’ design was extremely well received and orders for the XK 120 were plentiful. Due to the fact that the sports car was also relatively inexpensive, it became a huge success; not only in the domestic market, but especially in the USA. A closed coupé (“fixed head coupé”, from 1951) and a convertible (“drop head coupé”, from 1953) rounded off the range.
In 1954 Jaguar modified the sports car and re-launched it as the XK 140. Compared to its predecessor, the new one featured a more spacious interior, improvements to the chassis and brakes, and rack and pinion steering. The 3.4 liter 6-cylinder engine was adopted from the XK 120, it now produced 142 kW (190 hp), or 157 kW (213 hp) with the optional C-type cylinder head. An automatic transmission was available as an option. Nothing changed in the selection of available variants – roadster, coupe and convertible. The XK 140 was only produced for three years and was then succeeded by the XK 150.
