Jaguar XK 120
The XK120 was presented at the British International Motor Show in 1948 as a concept car to test the new Jaguar engine. However, the design was so well received that Jaguar decided to put the car into production. The "120" in the name XK120 refers to the top speed of 120 mph (192 km/h), making the XK120 the fastest production car of its time. The car was available in three versions: as a roadster (or OTS, Open two-seater), as a Drophead Coupé (DHC), which was essentially a more luxurious version of the OTS, and as a coupé (called FHC, Fixed Head Coupe). The car presented here is an original XK 120 DHC, still featuring the original leather, soft top, and spats. This is a find, as such an original XK is very rare. The first owner was a pilot and therefore installed two gauges on the left side of the dashboard. It also comes with an original tool kit, an air pump, a compression gauge, and another light bulb. Furthermore, this XK drives fantastically because it originally only has 43.
