Avant-Garde Collection

Some cars simply check the boxes. Others become the benchmark. This 1955 Jaguar XK140 Roadster is the latter.

Restored over the course of more than a decade between 1978 and 1989, this XK140 SE presents exactly how enthusiasts hope to find one, finished in timeless red over tan leather, powered by the legendary 3.4-liter inline-six with dual SU carburetors, and paired to the proper 4-speed manual transmission. Every detail feels right, from the split windshield and Lucas fog lights to the 16” wire wheels and full-width chrome bumpers.

Inside, the adjustable tan leather seats, Smiths instrumentation, and classic Jaguar driving position deliver the kind of analog experience that simply doesn’t exist anymore. This is the era that built Jaguar’s reputation.

What makes this example stand apart is the depth behind it. Accompanied by a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, Vehicle Information Record, JCNA judging sheets, historical photos, service manuals, parts catalogues, and even the tool roll, this is the kind of documentation and provenance collectors search years for.

If you’ve been waiting for the right XK140, this is the one worth paying attention to.
