{"product_id":"jaguar-xk140-150-in-detail-usedln-1","title":"Jaguar Xk140\/150 In Detail USEDLN USED","description":"Jaguar's series of XK sports cars used the \nremarkable twin overhead camshaft engine that was first exposed to the \npublic in 1948 in the new XK120 two-seater, which took the motoring \nworld by storm. For 1954 the XK120 was replaced by the mildly restyled \nXK140 model, with an increase in power, optional overdrive and a roomier \ncockpit. It was replaced in 1957 by the XK150. With disc brakes on all \nwheels, the option of engines up to 265bhp and a completely new body, \nthe XK150 was an extremely competent performance car with more than a \ntouch of glamour.\n\nThis book opens with an exposition of the background to the introduction \nof the XK140, a key model because the XK120 was such a hard act to \nfollow. Then comes a full technical analysis of the new car, covering \nall aspects of the chassis, running gear, engine and transmission. This \nsets the scene for the coverage of the XK150.\n\nMajor production changes during the evolution of the two models are \nrecorded, and production and sales worldwide are analyzed in depth. The \nauthor also provides information on prototypes and special-bodied cars.\n\nBook Description\n\nThe book opens with an introduction of the XK140. \nThen comes a technical analysis of the new car.
