Launched at the London Motor Show in 1948, the XK 120 was Jaguars first car with the new XK engine and it soon achieved status as the fastest production car in the world. Numerous records, including the famous 1949 high-speed autoroute from Jabbeke to Aeltre in Belgium with Jaguar test driver Ron ‘Soapy’ Sutton behind the wheel, the XK 120 OTS achieved 126 MPH (203 km/h) fuelled the XK 120 reputation as the fastest sports car on the market. Also the long swept lines of the beautiful body made the XK 120 a preferred choice among the European nobility and Hollywood stars as Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
This all matching numbers 1954 OTS is very well sorted out and perhaps the best drivers car we have tested. It handles sharp, brakes excellent and the engine pulls very strongly. Condition is not concours, but very, very good. The car was restored years ago and is now with a beautiful light patina. It has been in the very capable hands of a renowned Danish Jaguar specialist and restorer for the last couple of years and absolutely nothing needs to be done. The car is a joy to drive and would provide the enthusiast with an exhilarating motoring experience. The car comes with Heritage Certificate. World wide shipping arranged.
