Jaguar XK 140
By 1954 the XK 120 needed updating and the XK 140 was launched with body revisions and better brakes. An SE 3442cc engine was available giving 190bhp, or with the Jaguar C-type head to give 210bhp. Three body styles were available, the Roadster, Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe. In 1957 the XK 140 was replaced by the XK 150.
