Jaguar XK140
What is your favourite car of all time?
The hugely admired and successful Jaguar XK120 was replaced in late 1954 by the Jaguar XK140. Changes were limited but there was rack-and-pinion steering and the engine output went up to 190bhp with 210bhp for the Special Equipment version. The coupe body, in fixed and drophead forms, had an extended roof line to allow the fitment of rear occasional seat or allow a little more luggage space. The result for the XK 140 was a better-equipped series of cars, although the inevitable weight increase kept the top speed to around 120mph, unless overdrive was fitted when 130mph was possible.
