About this car
The Jaguar XK120 began as a design exercise for the first postwar London Motor Show in 1948. But once the public saw this car, and loved it, Jaguar quickly decided to turn this into a production car.
The "120" in the name XK120 refers to the top speed of 120 mph (193 km/h), making this the fastest production in its time.
Orginally this car was never meant for mass production but in a limited edition of 200. But the demand for the XK120 rose and this forced Jaguar to replace the expensive and time consuming aluminum body with a steel body. This body did make the car 54 kg heavier, but it also enabled Jaguar to produce over 12.000 XK 120 after 1950.
