In the example is 192.168.140.3 your vlan gateway? If so, please do ...

# route add default gw 192.168.140.3
# ping 192.168.140.3
# ping 192.168.140.2

The eth0 has the same gateway. So this will break your default eth0
communication. Now it's all set by hand. Later on you want this all well
in interfaces, true.

That all, looks good to me.
