#JaguarXK120
The XK120 is a luxury sports car produced by Jaguar from 1948 to 1954 in 12,055 units. It was Jaguar's first sporty car after the SS 100, which was produced until 1940. The figure "120" in the model name referred to the 120 mph (193 km/h) top speed achieved with windscreen installed (without front glass the speed was higher), making the XK120 the fastest standard production car in the world at the time of its launch.
We'll tell the story of this model on the occasion of its anniversary or when it will reach a sufficient number of cars.
