6 October 2026 — New Knowledge page: keeping mice and rats out of a stored XK140. What rodents do to a stored car, what keeps them out, and why ultrasonic repellers and peppermint are not a plan.
6 October 2026 — New page: where the XK140 sits in Jaguar's story. A short Jaguar history from the XK140's point of view, with links to the full Jaguar history and model comparison on the E-Type Archive, now also in the menu and footer.
29 September 2026 — Correction: the XK140's price new. The fixed head coupe's price of £1,830 7s 11d is now confirmed by two independent sources, The Autocar's Road Test No. 1583 of 9 December 1955 and the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, which agree to the penny. An earlier figure of £1,575, which matched neither, has been withdrawn. The home page's today's-money figures, which named no source for their index values, now derive from that price by the Retail Prices Index.
27 September 2026 — Tuning SU carburettors. A new Knowledge page on how an SU works, what to fix first, and the tuning sequence, with the points where the sources disagree marked as disagreements.
27 September 2026 — Correction: photograph captions and placement. Three photograph captions described photographs other than the ones they were attached to and have been corrected; four photographs have moved to the pages they belong on; four have been described properly for the first time.
27 September 2026 — Correction: XK140 cockpit space. The XK140 page said the engine moved three inches forward and the bulkhead moved back. That was wrong. It now says the engine, bulkhead and dash all moved forward, which gave three inches more legroom. The same correction was applied on the home page and on the body styles page.
27 September 2026 — Correction: XK140 dampers. The XK140 page said telescopic dampers replaced the lever-arm type. That was true only of the rear. It now says they replaced the lever-arm type at the rear, the front already being telescopic. The same correction was applied on the home page.
27 September 2026 — Correction: XK140 bumpers. The XK140 page, in its text and in a photograph caption, described the bumpers as one-piece. No source supports that. It now says full-width bumpers with overriders, in place of the XK120's small separate bumperettes. The same correction was applied on the home page.
