Second‑Generation Debut at Earl's Court
Seventy years after its launch, the XK140 is remembered for its official debut at the Earl's Court motor show, marking the arrival of the second generation of Jaguar's iconic XK line.

Compared with the XK120, the XK140 offered more interior space, improved brakes and a rack‑and‑pinion steering system, reflecting Jaguar’s focus on a more refined grand‑tourer experience.
Limited Production Makes It Highly Sought‑After
Only 8,937 XK140s were built during its three‑year run, a figure often rounded to “nearly 9,000,” which contributes to its status today as a highly coveted classic sports car.
