1953 Jaguar XK120 OTS Post WWII Jaguar needed to stir up some
excitement. In preparation for the 1948 Earl's Court Motor Show,
Jaguar prepared the XK Open Two-Seater Super Sports concept car.
The car was an immediate sensation and ultimately put Jaguar on the
map as an international player in the industry. The concept was not
intended for volume production but, demand was such that a limited
production coach-built approach would not work. The car was quickly
renamed to the XK120: X for experimental, as were all the engine
types during the war; K as the sequence of engine design
designation; and 120 representing the vehicles' top speed of 120
miles-per-hour. The XK120 was powered by a 3.4L DOHC inline
six-cylinder engine that produced 160hp backed by a four-speed
manual transmission. The XK120 went on to break numerous speed
endurance records. At inception it was the fastest production car
in the world. Records were set for one hour, 24 hour and one-week
duration speeds. This XK120 Roadster was manufactured on June 17,
1953 and delivered to North America through the Hoffman Jaguar
distributors in New York. The car remains today in highly original
condition having never been fully restored. It is still powered by
the numbers matching engine DOHC Inline 6-cylinder engine backed by
a 4-speed manual transmission. A black convertible top is included
with the car. The car comes fully documented with a Jaguar Heritage
trust Certificate. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a real
piece of automotive history - and a real pivotal piece of Jaguar
history. Additional Details: 1953 JAGUAR XK120 -
