1954 JAGUAR XK 140 SE FHC Chassis no. A814590DN Collector's registration - Rare SE version - A legendary car - One of the most beautiful XK coupes In 1954 Sir William Lyons made aesthetic and technical modifications to the revolutionary Jaguar XK 120. Aesthetically, the XK 140 differed from its predecessor in the bumper and grille. Technically, the changes are more extensive. Suspensions have been modernized, and the steering is now rack-and-pinion. The XK 3.4-litre 6-cylinder engine is retained, but moved forward into the engine compartment to increase cabin space. The positioning of the two batteries in the front fenders makes it possible to install a small rear booster seat, absent on the XK 120. All these modernizations give the XK 140 a more Grand Touring feel than the sportier, more Spartan XK 120. Our example is a rare SE version bodied as a coupé. It is presented in the sublime shade of British Racing Green, accompanied by beige leather. Restored in the 90s from the chassis upwards, as evidenced by an extensive photo file, the bodywork and interior are in generally good condition, testifying to the quality of the work carried out. 1954 JAGUAR XK 140 SE FHC Chassis no. A814590DN Collector's registration - Rare SE version - A legendary car - One of the most beautiful XK coupes In 1954 Sir William Lyons made aesthetic and technical changes to the revolutionary Jaguar XK 120. The XK 140 differed aesthetically from its predecessor, with new bumpers and a new radiator grille. Technically, the changes are more significant. The suspension has been modernised and the steering is now rack-and-pinion. The XK's 3.4-litre, 6-cylinder engine has been retained, but moved forward into the engine compartment to increase cabin space. The positioning of the two batteries in the front wings makes it possible to install a small rear booster seat, absent from the XK 120. Taken together, these upgrades give the XK 140 a more Grand Touring feel than the sportier, more spartan XK 120. Our example is a rare SE version with coupé bodywork. It is presented in the sublime British Racing Green colour, accompanied by beige leather. Restored in the 1990s from the chassis upwards, as evidenced by an extensive photo file, the bodywork and interior are in generally good condition, testifying to the quality of the work carried out.

1961 JAGUAR Type: XK 150 FHC Serial number: J61 S836879BW French registration 55 000 / 65 000 € The Jaguar XK150 was launched in 1957, 10 years after the XK120 and 3 years after the XK140. The general shape of the car is inspired by its predecessors, but the lines are totally different. The car's lines are softened, and the windscreen is now a single curved plane, like the coupé's rear window. Mechanically, the biggest difference from previous models was the introduction of disc brakes as standard. These had first appeared on the Jaguar Type D at Le Mans in 1954. Steering was rack-and-pinion, as on the 140, and the engine was a 3.4-liter 190 hp unit. More than an evolution, the 150 is a modern car, meeting the demands of the American market and becoming a grand tourer. Coupés and cabriolets adopt a more modern leather dashboard cover. The XK150 remained in production until 1961, although very few examples were produced that year, before the presentation of the E-Type at the Geneva Motor Show in March. During the 13 years of XK production, a total of 30,364 units rolled off the production line, of which 9,382 were Jaguar XK 150s. These are cars with reliable powertrains, modern handling and braking, which are usable on today's roads and in today's traffic. With a decent-sized radiator and a large mechanical fan, they don't suffer like the E-Type from cooling problems; moreover, they are of simple design with a rigid rear axle and are therefore relatively inexpensive to maintain. The XK heritage represents much more than these production figures. This range established Jaguar as a sports car producer that mattered. Successes on European and especially American tracks confirmed the Jaguar legend that was being written at Le Mans, with five Jaguar Type D victories in 7 years. The model presented here is a rare 3.8 version, fitted with the Borg Warner gearbox. The original engine was replaced by a 4.2 for greater flexibility, and the 3.8 is sold with the car, to be collected from the owner's home. The paintwork has a beautiful patina, reflecting the car's history. 1961 JAGUAR Type: XK 150 FHC Serial number: J61 S836879BW French registration 55 000 / 65 000 € The Jaguar XK150 was launched in 1957, 10 years after the XK120 and 3 years after the XK140.
