Jaguar XK120

'Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside ' - Coco Chanel

Imagine yourself in the British extraordinary feeling. Dressed in your 'tweed' outfit with matching flat cap, get into the elegant silver Jaguar XK120. Cruising through the rolling countryside in one of Britain's most iconic sports car. This is the ultimate British feeling, to say the least.

In the year 1948, Sir William Lyons introduced the beauty. At the time, it caused much sensation and excitement, even to the point that it was one of the most sought-after sports cars of its time. Its name is partly due to its top speed 120 miles per hour (fun fact: in 1951, the XK120 achieved a record speed of 132.6 miles per hour).

Under the skin is equipped with a 3.4 liter inline six cylinder which produces a good 160 HP. This ensures that the Jag reaches 100 km/h within 8.5 seconds. Fascinating figures, repeat 1951!

Its fast, flowing lines and aerodynamic design makes this one optically magnificent as well. Notable, of course, is the long nose and connecting whip fenders. These still make you, in whatever capacity the knees are, sink through the knees to view this work of lines art. Driving it is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of the driver and other road users. At least we didn't manage to get out of it without a smile.

Our example was originally delivered in sunny Los Angeles. Gradually restored and technically in top condition. Equipped with a known past and documentation. Not to mention the incredibly beautiful combination of the completely red interior with the silver paint.

The Cool Classic Club would love to get in touch to see if you are the suitable new owner of this joyous Jaguar XK120.
