Jaguar XK140 Roadster | Mould King 10236

Bring the atmosphere of the classic British sports car to life with the Mould King 10236, a detailed car building set inspired by the Jaguar XK140 Roadster. The long bonnet, open two-seater cockpit, and graceful body lines make this a distinctly different building project from modern supercars and race cars, resulting in a characteristic 1950s model.

The real Jaguar XK140 was introduced in 1954 as the successor to the successful XK120. Under the long bonnet lay Jaguar's famous 3.4-liter inline six-cylinder engine, while several improvements over its predecessor made the car more comfortable and practical. Yet, the XK140 remained first and foremost a true sports car. The combination of performance and elegant British design made it highly sought after at the time and has ensured that the XK series is now among the most famous classic Jaguars.

The Mould King 10236 building set translates the design of the open XK140 into a detailed scale model. The long, rounded bonnet, low windscreen, flowing fenders, and characteristic grille are clearly recognizable. Details such as the classic wheels, round headlights, and various chrome-colored accents also beautifully match the look of the original Jaguar.

There's also plenty to discover under the bodywork. The bonnet can be opened, revealing a detailed inline six-cylinder engine, fitting the engine configuration of the real XK140. The doors can also be opened, and the interior features a classic dashboard, steering wheel, and elaborate seats, among other things. In addition, the model has working steering, meaning that in addition to its design, functional technology is also incorporated into the building set.

The Mould King 10236 Jaguar XK140 Roadster is thus a beautiful building set for enthusiasts of classic cars, British sports cars, and historic car building sets. While many technical car models revolve around enormous spoilers and extreme performance, the appeal here lies precisely in the combination of the long bonnet, open bodywork, and elegant lines with which Jaguar made its name in the 1950s.

This is not an officially licensed product, but a building set inspired by the Jaguar XK140 Roadster.
