Buying a 1957 Jaguar XK140 Fixed Head Coupe

The 1957 Jaguar XK140 Fixed Head Coupe represents that last model-year of production prior to Jaguars release of the XK150, which would be the third variation on the popular XK lineup. The main external changes that differentiate the XK140 from its predecessor, the XK120, include full-width bumpers, the addition of a chrome strip down the middle of the front and rear hoods, and increased interior space thanks to the repositioning of the engine, firewall and dashboard. The XK140, like all the XK models, would be offered as a Roadster, a Drop Head Coupe, and a Fixed Head Coupe. The Roadster was the clear favorite among buyers and would make up the majority of XK140 sales. The Drop Head Coupe, which boasted a soft top that when rolled back fit neatly behind the seats, offered drivers better protection from the elements. The Fixed Head Coupe, on the other hand, was a true enclosed coupe and offered buyers the first four-season Jaguar XK. While it did not sell as well as the convertible or open two-seater models, it offered the truly exceptional curvature that XK lovers craved and more practicality at a fraction of the cost.

As with any classic car, if the sellers have documentation regarding ownership history, restoration or maintenance, this can add value in the long run and should convey with the car.
