Jaguar XK120 Coupe 1953

The Jaguar XK120 Coupe, introduced in 1948, became a symbol of British luxury and performance. This model was one of the first postwar sports cars to take the world by storm with its refined design and powerful performance. The XK120 was equipped with a 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine, capable of a top speed of over 190 mph, which was unprecedented at the time. The combination of lightweight construction and an aerodynamic body gave the car excellent handling and a sporty driving experience.

This coupe was not only a technical achievement, but also an aesthetic masterpiece with its elegant lines and luxurious finish. The XK120 was often praised for its innovative technologies, such as independent wheel suspensions and front disc brakes, which contributed to the driving experience. Jaguar positioned the XK120 as a car for both racing and everyday driving, so the model appealed to a wide audience. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend you come to the viewing day.
