Owning a 1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster

Buying a 1956 XK140 Roadster is often the culmination of years of dreaming, drooling, hopes and prayers. If you’re finally in the market for a XK140 Roadster, congratulations! And, if you’ve found this website while searching for Jaguar XK140 Buyers Tips, you’ve come to the right place! Considered the epitome of postwar English automotive design, the Jaguar XK series, particularly the Roadster models, turned heads from their initial release in 1948. Offering more cockpit space, an improved rear suspension and 190hp on the standard version, the XK140 Roadster was a slightly more advanced version of its older sibling, yet aesthetically nearly identical. Only small changes were made visually, including updated, larger bumpers and a chrome trim found on both the hood and trunk. To mark its achievements in motorsports, the XK140 was also outfitted with an emblem reading, Winner Le Mans 1951-3. Also, in 1956, Jaguar offered a three speed automatic transmission. But, if you want a XK Roadster, you probably already know these details.
