Our Jaguar XK120 DHC, introduced in 1954, was imported from the United States in 1992 before being acquired by its current owner in 2011.
This copy comes in an English Green color, combined with a Beige leather interior and a soft top in the same color. The body is in very good condition, with only one slight scratch on the left rear. The well-preserved interior and the functional on-board instrumentation attest to the care given to this vehicle.
Under the hood, this XK120 has a 3.4L inline six-cylinder engine developing 160 horsepower, coupled to a 5-speed mechanical gearbox. This example has benefited from numerous discreet improvements, aimed at increasing reliability and comfort:
The maintenance was carried out by a specialist in classic vehicles, with a complete file of invoices since 2011. This copy is completely rust-free. A complete overhaul was carried out in February 2025, guaranteeing optimal mechanical condition. No costs are to be expected.
The Jaguar XK 120 was more than just a mere entry in the post-war automotive landscape; it was a bold declaration from Jaguar, proclaiming their return to the world stage with unrivaled style and performance. Introduced at the 1948 London Motor Show, this iconic sports car quickly captured the public’s admiration with its high speed, stunning aesthetics, and surprisingly affordable price, which set a new standard for sports car value.
Under the elegant hood was a new 3.4-liter inline-six engine capable of generating an impressive 160 horsepower—a feat that delivered the XK 120 a top speed of 120 mph, which at the time made it the fastest production car in the world. The model gained its name from this top-speed claim, with the '120' denoting the potential miles per hour achievable, a fact that inevitably fueled enthusiastic discussions among automotive aficionados.
On the race tracks, the XK 120 proved its mettle by achieving numerous victories. Its prowess and reliability underlined Jaguar’s engineering excellence and cemented its legacy in motorsport history. With drivers like Stirling Moss behind the wheel, it swiftly became synonymous with competitive success.
Beyond the racetracks, the XK 120 also endeared itself to the glamorous and the famous. Celebrities like Clark Gable and Steve McQueen were known to be enthusiasts, further elevating its allure. Furthermore, the roadster captured the imaginations of film directors, making appearances in classic films like "The Lavender Hill Mob" in 1951, which only served to increase its legendary status among the car-loving crowd.
In terms of its influence on Jaguar itself, the XK 120 was pioneering. It set the blueprint for future models with its elegant design language and high-performance ethos, proving economical enough to keep Jaguar in excellent commercial health.
Its lasting legacy is felt even today as a vehicle that perfectly encapsulates the spirit and audacity of post-war Britain, reflected fiercely in its design and engineering mastery.
