Truly impeccable in every way, this Jag is definitely ready for the Concours! Thanks for finding and sharing Mr. Kreisman and his Drophead Coupe with us, Lou.
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
One of the most beautifully designed cars of all time. Jaguar must've thought so too. They continued this basic design from 1948-1960, that's an eternity in the automotive world.
Thanks Lou.
Hi Mighty Lonesome, High praise for the design of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Timeless, beautiful classic. Thanks gents, appreciate it 👍
Hi Bruce H., High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you. You're welcome, Lou

Hi Michael, High praise for the engine in this car :-) Lou
Great looking Drophead ! Worked on a couple of these and sold a couple over the years. Rolling piece of art ! Thanks for posting Lou !
Hi Rudy, Happy to read you enjoy this "Rolling piece of art !" :-) You're welcome, Lou
That is my favorite Jaguar ! Beautiful, that color just works on that Jaguar. One of my dream cars !
Hi Fabien, Happy to read this is a "dream car" for you :-) Lou
Lou , I don’t know how you find them but you only find the best ! This IS the most beautiful car made bu far , thanks again❗️🇺🇸
Ralph, High praise :-) Thank you.
That is such an elegant design! Jag designers were at the top of their game in the 50's and 60's. The burgundy color with the tan leather and burl wood is a great combination. Nice car!
Hi Steve, Happy to read you enjoy the design, color, and interior of this car :-) Lou
Wow ! Now that’s probably as Beautiful a car as ever built. !
High praise :-)
Jaguar's version of the woodie! Classic (and classy) in every way.
:-)
As you may recall, like yourself, I am a Jag owner and enthusiast. I can think of no other car company that consistently produced such beautiful machines whether they were sporting coupes and convertibles or 4 door sedans (saloons) with great performance while not being stratospheric in price or maintenance or over the top.
You're right, beautiful cars :-)
Another great one Lou , there’s really nothing you can add thanks Lou ❗️🇺🇸
Hi Ralph, Happy to share this "great one" with you :-) You're welcome, Lou

THANKS AGAIN LOU ,STEPHAN AND BOB DID AN EXCELLENT JOB 🤩🤩🤩🤗 it was a great day to take it out and the sun was great to show how well it was restored and I am in TOTAL AGREEMENT with you both about taking it out for a ride 💚💚💚
¡Pero como reluce este hermoso Jaguar XK140 1957 con ese color vino! Me gustó el detalle del logotipo en el maletero donde menciona "Ganador de Le Mans 1951-53". Su interior es sencillamente exquisito, con tapicería de color marrón claro y toda esa madera tanto en el tablero como en sus puertas. También me gustó esa toma que salió en el minuto 9:20; ya que las luces de ése túnel se reflejaban por toda la bella carrocería creando un contraste espectacular! ¡Saludos cordiales, Lou!
Hi Jaime, Happy to read all the details you enjoy with this car :-) This was a treat to share with you, Lou

Nice :-)
Beautiful, classy car. Nice owner. Love the color.
Hi Daniel, High praise :-) Lou
Wow!! Just... Wow!! Lou, I think you've found my fave Jaguar. I have always loved the early XKE's and sort of like the XK120s. However this XK140 is just over the top gorgeous, buddy. What a nice treat to see this exquisite example on your channel. Thank you!! 👍👍
High praise Ken :-) My pleasure sharing your favorite Jaguar with you. You're welcome, Lou
👍 oh boy, another dream.
💥💥💥
Nice !
Beautiful Jag
I agree :-)
Lou, my understanding was the 120, 140 and 150 were based on the advertised top speed, not the horsepower. This is what I was told a number of years ago by an owner of a 1957 XK140 FHC. I understand the rarity of the automatic transmission, but there’s a reason Jaguar only imported 3…back in the day, no one but a Hollywood starlet would want it.
Sean, Jay Leno and you are right, and I'm sure I'm wrong. Lou
Stunning beauty
Hi Carl, Happy to read "Stunning beauty" :-) Lou
The XK 120 Jag was the most beautiful!
Thank you for sharing.
Would love to see this car in person. I’m driving through AZ on my route often.

Uan joya inglesa ,MUY inglesa : Amo este AUTO Felicitaciones a su orgulloso dueño.
Hi Juan, Happy to read you love this car :-) Lou
@@loucostabile Lou Tu sabes que aqui en Uruguay hay gente con tu apellido ,Son de origen italiano .
I'm in love and we're both the same age (but the car is probably in better shape?)! Absolutely gorgeous. Just to ride in that. It somewhat reminds me of our '57 TR3 in British Racing Green, but certainly not the same. Thanks for this Arizona find. Sorry I cannot hit the thumbs up more than once!
The cheaper English sports cars from this era, were so much fun to drive around in, and pretty easy on gas too...of course, the cars were cursed with the unreliability they became famous for.
Hi K B, I now pronounce you K B & car.....you may take the keys (music starts). Lou
@@loucostabile LOL.....I wish I could!
I thought, all of those had dual exhausts. He probably meant, having them separate from another was an option. Otherwise, they were always doubled together to one side.
That tool in the trunk is what Brits refer to as a "Budgie".
There aren't any lifters, in that engine. The camshafts drive thimble tappets, just above the valve stems
Thanks for viewing and sharing.
worth a fortune , for obvious reasons
:-)
Hi Lou! Really beautiful wood dashboard, I think that's claro walnut burl.
Hi boson! I agree, great looking dash board :-)
Awesome car!!! Its a looker for sure.
I like he was talking junk about Lucas........ Whats the old joke??? ......Oh yeah , The Lucas three position switch - Dim, Flicker and Off.
Happy to read "Awesome car!!!" :-) Thank for sharing.
One thing...the models--120,140,150 did not refer to horsepower, but rather the top speed supposedly achieved...the last iteration of this older body style was a 150 model--but never could reach 150mph, without being modified. These older model Jags were, IMO, better looking than even the striking XKE models. The Brits built many beautiful cars, but forgot to build in reliability! At any rate, this gorgeous vehicle would be worth several hundred thousands of dollars now--at least!..Not sure if the rarity of that auto transmission would increase, or decrease, the value.
You're right about top speed and I'm wrong about HP.
Wonderful video Lou. I wish you never do a video of the crappy domestics again.
Hi Jerry, Happy to read you enjoy the foreign cars I share with you :-) Lou
CHINGON CAR mr louuuu
High praise mr chonnnn
I Want to Go There🤓❤️💕🤗😳
Hi Walter, Hope to see you there next year, Lou
Very nice XK 140 automatic is a new one on me. Only sold in U S. Don’t think the white wall tyres do anything for a car like that. ❤
Hi Derek, Happy to read you enjoy this "Very nice" car :-) Thanks for viewing and sharing, Lou
👍
:-)
If you bought a car like that, or a Buick coche (1956), you would never get married 🧐🤔😶
I now pronounce you man and car......you may take the key (start the music)
Sir John Lucas…Prince of Darkness! 🤭
Thank you for sharing.
👍👍
Nice :-)
120,140,150 wasn't assigned to horsepower,it was top speed.

HI Carl, Happy to see you enjoy this car :-) Lou
As a former owner of Jaguars, let's all remember, Lucas is the lord of darkness.
But I would admit, this Jaguar could give many wood when you see the interior.

Love the color! Is it a 6 cylinder or a 12 cylinder?
Happy to read you color. It's a 6 cylinder.
It was too bad, that the owner did not comment more on that excellent engine...It was a dual, overhead cam six, derived from the racing engines. Few cars offered a DOHC engine in the late 1940s, when Jaguar offered one!...and that exhaust note, is the sweetest sound you will ever hear from a six!...Even my old Austin-Healey--also a six--did not quite match the splendor of that Jaguar engine sound!
Yes, Jaguar didn’t produce V12s until the 70’s.
Regal car Lou, Nice color, and beautiful leather........but, I can't warm up to an auto trans in this sports car!
Happy to read you enjoy this "Regal car" :-) Sad to read about no manual :-(
Hmm, I always thought the number was based on how fast it coud go. XK120 went 120 mph, XK150 went 150 mph. That is what Jay Leno has always said. I guess this particular model is different?
That's what I read. It referred to the top speed in miles per hour. I think, that Lou was incorrect in saying, that it referred to the horsepower. Apparently, the owner thought, that it would be rude to correct him. Also, the owner originally said, that SE stood for "Special Equipment" but when Lou said that "SE stood for "Special Edition", right?", the owner acknowledged, "yes".
Very British of this American owner. Most Americans wouldn't have considered it rude to correct Lou.
Hi Sabba_Dabba, I'd say Jay Leno's probably right :-) Lou
I think I may have an auto erotic cargasm🥴🤪! Is that a sick motor or WHAT!!!😳
Nice :-)
This one Or a 1957 Pontiac Chieftain?? Hard to choose...
Both :-)
