The 1954 Jaguar XK140 Zagato Coupe is a one-off which began its life as standard XK140. It was originally purchased by Guido Modiano – the businessman whose company printed playing cards.
Upon the unfortunate crash in which the vehicle was damaged, Guido ordered Zagato to create a one-off body for the vehicle. The result of Zagato’s craftsmanship became an early example of what would later be a very popular collaboration between British carmakers and the Italian coachbuilder.
