While the 140 models have superior horsepower and handling when compared to the 120s, they lack the visual simplicity that often makes first models of any successful serial production car attractive. XK 140s in true concours condition will cross the $50,000 mark, which is no great success story as it usually takes $100,000 to get them to the 99-point level.
In strong driving condition, as this car was represented to be, $30,000 is the right number. Driving condition 120/140/150s in this price range are a decent buy, but will only increase along with the market, never being at the forefront of appreciation.
