1951 Jaguar XK120 OTS

Jaguar presented the XK120 as a concept car at the British International Motor Show in 1948 to test the new Jaguar engine. Due to the positive reactions, it was decided to put the car into production. The '120' designation in the name referred to a top speed of 120 mph (192 km/h), making it the fastest production car of its time. The first versions produced featured an aluminium body, but as demand for the cars increased to such an extent that production had to be faster, it was decided to make the body out of steel. However, the moving parts such as the doors, the tailgate, and the bonnet remained aluminium. Three versions were available to order: the Roadster (also known as OTS, or Open Two-seater), the Drophead Coupe (DHC), and the coupe (or FHC, Fixed Head Coupe). The DHC was essentially a more luxurious version of the OTS, which offered little protection against the elements. Exterior door handles were absent; opening was done via a pull cord on the inside.
