1953 Jaguar XK 120

For decades, this Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe remained in the same American family, from its first registration in Arizona in 1953 to the California registration papers preserved into the 1970s—a continuous chain of ownership rarely found so completely documented. Unveiled at the London Motor Show in 1948, the XK120 was equipped with an all-new 3,4-liter six-cylinder engine producing approximately 160 hp, enough to propel the car well over 190 kilometers per hour, making it one of the fastest production cars of its time; the model name referred directly to that top speed in miles per hour. The design was the work of chief designer Sir William Lyons, who drafted a streamlined, timeless body that not only gave the car impressive performance but also, thanks to an advanced suspension, surprising cornering agility; That combination of speed and controllability helped Jaguar secure its reputation as a builder of sporty, reliable cars and gave the XK120 the status of one of the first true supercars.
