1954 Jaguar XK-120 Navigation
The Jaguar XK 120 was launched in roadster form in 1948 at the London Motor Show as a testbed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine designed by Chief Engineer William Heynes. The sports car caused a sensation, which persuaded Jaguar founder and Chairman William Lyons to put it into production. It was Jaguar's first sports car since SS 100 production ended in 1939.
Presented in 1948 as a wood-frame open 2-seat body with aluminum panels that switched to all-steel in early 1950, the '120' in the name referred to the car's 120 mph top speed, which made it the world's fastest production car at the time of its launch. The XK 120 has a 3.4 liter DOHC straight-6 engine producing 180 hp.
Delivered to its first owner in Los Angeles, California in 1954, this XK 120 retains its original engine, chassis, and body with only minor refreshing.
