The Jaguar XK
120 was introduced in 1948, and caused an immediate sensation. The XK
120 had a top speed of 120 miles an hour (about. 200 km/h) and was the
fastest production car for sale at that time. The XK 120 was designed by
Jaguar’s boss and founder William Lyons. The bodywork had an almost
sculptural design, with sober, well-chosen flowing lines and beautiful
curves. With its exquisite long bonnet and elongated wing lines, the XK
120 has a very dynamic charisma.
Together with the XK 120, the new Jaguar "XK" straight-six engine was
introduced which, for the next forty years, was to attire all Jaguar
models in ever improved forms. The XK 120 was available in three
versions: as a roadster, the slightly larger DHC (Drop Head Coupe) and
as the FHC (Fixed Head Coupe) with a fixed steel roof. The XK 120 was
built until 1954 and was followed by the XK 140.
