Xander Wildeisen Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 Best priced Jag 140 coupe I have seen in awhile. If I was local and in the market for a project, or buy, clean up and resale. I would go and view this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Agreed it will sell and the price is cheap. I would argue that 50K buys a decent running and driving open car so that is a better idea, but I realize lots of people with 12K don't have 50K. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Looking at the photo above, is he selling the parts car for the one in the background? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearheadengineer Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 The background car is an MGA. The Jag is pretty rough but I agree it will sell. If it were local I might check it out because my wife loves the XK coupes. I think the price is a little high based on some OTS versions I’ve seen advertised locally but someone might pay it.

It’s apart and probably missing stuff, but the coupe above needs everything touched. https://newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/d/torrington-1959-jaguar-xk150-drop-head/7764486534.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 I did see that one, I watch for XK 120-150’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) Jag made a lot of XK120/140/150s and 90% were delivered to America. Much like a Corvette nobody ever tossed one and the two examples here prove that. To me they are superior to any reasonably obtainable 1950s sports cars. "Reasonable" rules out Ferrari and Aston Martin. Prices vary a lot but the premium goes to OTS versions (specifically roadster) with the SE/C/S engine options that are matching head and block.

Def cheesey and campy. There was a secret agent named XK150, he kept calling XK120 on the radio and referred to agent 1-9-0-S-L. Sorry for wandering off track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer09 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 while I find the 120s and 140s hot- the 150 looks pregnant. couldnt give me one............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1965 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) Sale pending... Would have liked to see it washed and cleaned up. Behind the rear fender it doesn't look too bad, right? It's quite unbelievable that there are still unrestored ones out there that someone keeps for ages. The welded front fender looks scary to me, though.... I know nothing about these cars. Hopefully, they are more spacious than the E types of my brother where you need to fold yourself in...

They added 3" of leg room in the 140 and that helps. 6 feet tall is probably about it. Although a bit more in a 150 which is a bit bigger than the 150. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices vary a lot but the premium goes to OTS versions (specifically roadster) with the SE/C/S engine options that are matching head and block. there are 693, 140 fixed head coupe cars made in 1956. ( vin. 815269 until 815966 ) 397 of them with automatic transmission. total ever build 8956 cars in 4 years starting in 1954. restoration costs exceed the value of the car. This car is actually too beautiful to break down into parts and the condition is not good enough to restore economically. ideal for the enthusiast restorer who does not charge for the hours.
