HISTORY OF THE JAGUAR XK120SE
The Jaguar XK120 was unveiled in 1948 at the London Motor Show. Its
stylish lines and performance XK engine quickly gained the interest
of sporting minded enthusiasts across the globe. With a top speed
rated at 120mph the XK120 was the fastest sports car ever offered
at the time and the model proved to be a fierce competitor in
events such as Le Mans, The Alpine Rally and Mille Miglia. By 1951,
competition from other European marquees pushed Jaguar to further
enhance the XK120 offerings. The “Special Equipment” group or “SE
model” as it was known further enhanced the XK engine’s power
output with higher lift camshafts, lightened flywheel and dual
exhaust. These optional refinements raised horsepower to 180 and
today the XK120SE is considered the pinnacle of all XK120
models.
