  5. World War II was not easy on the automotive industry and the famed British manufacturer had to wait 8 years before releasing a successor. The new sports car had a new name, the Jaguar XK120. The 120 roadster was conceived and designed in a matter of months, primarily to act as a showcase for the marque’s new XK engine, it was shown at the 1948 Earls Court Motor show in the dark days of rationing, it caused such a sensation that William Lyons was forced to put it into production right away. 5 Signature Global Ltd. , 45 Rowdell Road, Northolt, Middlesex, UB5 6AG t: 0845 370 2222 e: sales@signatureglobal.co.uk

  7. The XK120 was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a test bed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation, which persuaded William Lyons to put it into production. The “”120”” in its name referred to its 120 mph top speed which made the XK120 the world’s fastest standard production car at the time of its launch. 7 Signature Global Ltd. , 45 Rowdell Road, Northolt, Middlesex, UB5 6AG t: 0845 370 2222 e: sales@signatureglobal.co.uk

  9. It was available in three versions; first as the roadster, then also as a drop head coupé from 1953 and as a closed, or “”fixed-head”” coupé from 1951. The iconic shape of the Jaguar XK120 roadster sustains the cars constant appreciation by classic car enthusiasts. Sadly for many, Jaguar XK’s remain the car of dreams. Those of a certain age may fondly remember coveting these cars when they spotted a glimpse of them in private garages or on neighbours’ driveways. 9 Signature Global Ltd. , 45 Rowdell Road, Northolt, Middlesex, UB5 6AG t: 0845 370 2222 e: sales@signatureglobal.co.uk

  11. Jaguar XK120’s, and particularly AEN 482 are excellent, usable examples of much coveted 1950’s motor cars. For the most part they are extremely robust, wonderfully reliable, infinitely eye-catching, and can turn their hand to almost anything. If you seek a Sunday-driver to go to Goodwood then AEN 482 is great; conversely, if you are looking for a capable touring or classic rallying car then this XK is well rounded for these tasks too... 11 Signature Global Ltd. , 45 Rowdell Road, Northolt, Middlesex, UB5 6AG t: 0845 370 2222 e: sales@signatureglobal.co.uk

  13. In 1952 Stirling Moss and three other drivers famously drove a virtually standard XK120 around the banked track at Montlhery for seven days and nights on end, clocking up an average speed of 100.31mph before driving the car back to London with no problems whatsoever. The XK120 was extremely successful as a racing car. In 1949 three XK120s entered the One-Hour Production Car Race in England. One of them had a flat tire and did not finish the race, but the other two managed to snatch the first two places. 13 Signature Global Ltd. , 45 Rowdell Road, Northolt, Middlesex, UB5 6AG t: 0845 370 2222 e: sales@signatureglobal.co.uk

  15. Some of the other wins include the Palm Beach Shores race, Pebble Beach Cup, Tourist Trophy (snatching the top three places), Alpine Rally (twice), Coupe des Alpes, Tulip Rally (the top two places), Mount Druitt 24 Hours Road Race and even the NASCAR road race, being the first import car to win this competition. In several other races, including the famed Le Mans, the XK120 was aiming for victories, but problems with clutch and brakes caused it to abandon the race in the 21 hour. These issues brought about a change in design that made the production model more reliable. 15 Signature Global Ltd. , 45 Rowdell Road, Northolt, Middlesex, UB5 6AG t: 0845 370 2222 e: sales@signatureglobal.co.uk

This car offers great investment potential also as the XK retail market continues to capture the appreciation of the next motoring generation.
