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.
