Jaguar XK140 Roadster Deluxe Black over Red, California Provenance,
Show-Quality Restoration This stunning 1954 Jaguar XK140 Roadster
Deluxe embodies the perfect blend of British performance and
timeless design. Finished in elegant black over red leather, this
car commands attention with its striking contrast and classic curb
appealaccentuated further by wide whitewall tires, chrome wire
wheels, and gleaming brightwork that perfectly evoke the golden era
of motoring. Originally sold new at Thornburg Jaguar in Beverly
Hills, California, this XK140 has enjoyed a privileged life in the
Golden State until 2008 when it was acquired by its current
collector owner. Since that time it's been maintained to the
highest standards and kept in a heated and cooled facility. The car
shows just 61,722 believed-original miles. It has been treated to a
meticulous, show-quality restoration that honors its originality
while elevating its condition to excellent standards. The body is
arrow-straight, panel fit is tight, and the deep, mirror-like black
finish reveals the care taken at every step. Inside, the red
leather interior is equally exquisite, with rich hides, fresh
brightwork, and period-correct finishes throughout. As a Deluxe
model equipped with wire wheels, fog lamps, and dual exhaust, it
delivers both visual impact and a more refined driving experience.
Under the hood, the legendary 3.4L twin-cam inline-6 offers strong,
smooth power and a distinctively spirited character. The XK140's
well-balanced chassis and precise steering make it a joy on open
roads, just as Sir William Lyons intended. Whether you're looking
to enhance a collection with a jewel of postwar British engineering
or want a weekend touring companion that's equally at home on the
show field, this XK140 Roadster stands ready. Rarely do examples of
this caliber, color combination, and provenance become available.
