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 Roadster / Open Two-Seater (OTS) 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.
