Colour names refer to internal John Skinner Ltd colour names, not necessarily the names Jaguar originally used for these colours.
We can also offer non-original custom colour schemes if you so desire. Please see our online shop for more details.
As part of the quotation/ordering process, we will arrange for samples to be sent for final confirmation – so browse and shop with complete peace of mind, knowing that we will guide you through step-by-step with all the information you require.
A note on Piping/Beading
Jaguar XK140 Fixed Head Coupé (FHC) models featured Piping matching the main trim colour. See the above Original Colours chart for more information.
(It should be noted that some records suggest that a few XK140 models appear to left the factory with contrasting piping on the seats, presumably on a one-off “special order” basis).
We can also offer the largest range of non-standard “bespoke” colours schemes for those looking for a more customised finish.
