1949 Jaguar XK120 Roadster

  • Chassis Number: 146
This example, #146, is one of 242 hand-built aluminum body XK-120s of which only approximately 50 survive. The alloy XK-120 was the fastest production car of its time - capable of 120 miles per hour. This car has the original body, engine and gearbox.

The car is powered by a twin-overhead-cam, 6-cylinder, 3,442 cc (3.4 liter) engine developing 160 horsepower couple to a 4-speed manual transmission. The chassis consists of independent front suspension and Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes. The vehicle weighs 2,800 pounds.

With Stirling Moss at the wheel, an XK 120 won the Tourist Trophy at Dundrod and the Silverstone race in 1950 and many more trophies followed.

This car is believed to have been owned by Clark Gable but is not fully documented.

A two-year restoration was completed in 1998.
