The XK120 debuted at the 1948 London Auto Show at Earl's Court. With its full-width streamlined body and exotic mechanicals, the XK simply reset expectations for sports car enthusiasts of the time. Sir William Lyons had
sent notice that Jaguar was a force to be reckoned with, and they were, for years to come.
The XK engine is a dual overhead cam 3.4 liter, straight six, with an alloy cylinder head and twin SU carburetors. It developed 160 horsepower and helped the XK120 reach an advertised 120 MPH. It was among the most powerful sports cars of the day and sold for a very reasonable $3,000.
