Our Jaguar XK120 Roadster OTS was delivered new in California and put on the road in 1953. It was imported into France in 1999 and purchased by its current owner.
This example benefits from numerous refurbished elements on its arrival in France, including paintwork, engine, soft-tops, side-screens and wheels, among others. In English Green, with chrome-spoke wheels, beige leather interior and Brookland steering wheel, this XK120 is in excellent condition.
Mechanically, its 3.4L 6-cylinder engine runs perfectly. The combination of its 160 hp and roadster configuration delivers excellent sensations. The engine has covered less than 10,000 km since its rebuild.
The Jaguar XK 120 is an iconic model that marked a turning point in the history of sports cars. Launched in 1948, it stood out not only for its innovative design, but also for its performance, powered by the now famous 3.4l 6-cylinder engine. The genesis of the XK 120 can be traced back to the years following the Second World War, a time when the British automotive industry was looking for ways to restart after years of wartime production. The market demanded innovative, high-performance and attractive vehicles. Jaguar, under the direction of Sir William Lyons, answered this call with the XK 120.
The name "XK 120" was derived from the vehicle's top speed, which was 120 mph (approx. 193 km/h). At the time, it was the fastest production car in the world. This title was corroborated by several road tests that validated the car's performance capabilities. The heart of the XK 120 was its engine, a 3.4-liter in-line 6-cylinder. It was an advanced powertrain for its time, featuring an aluminum cylinder head and twin overhead camshafts. The engine produced 160 hp, giving the XK 120 exceptional performance. The bodywork of the XK 120, with its flowing, aerodynamic lines, was equally remarkable.
