Brilliantly kept and refined XK140SE OTS Roadster!  All numbers matching engine, upgraded with Tremec T5 5-speed transmission, performance front disc brakes, aluminum radiator, stainless steel header & Falcon exhaust, and more!  A splendid driver!   Boasting from the success of the XK120, Jaguar did what all great sports car manufacturers do which was contribute new features to counter criticisms to keep reeling in buyers.  This led to the introduction of larger interior cabin space by moving the engine, firewall, and dash all forward by 3” to accommodate taller drivers better, along with effortless rack and pinion steering, improved brakes and suspension travel with shock absorbing dampening.  Cosmetically it appeared nearly the same, but larger bumpers with over riders, a one piece grill accented with trim that ran over the hood through to the deck lid, and special Jaguar emblems were affixed.   The one on the trunk lid made subtle mention of its heritage being the Winner or Le Mans from 1951-1953!
