When was the Jaguar XK120 made and what years were the Jaguar XK140 made.

In 1948, the XK120 was presented at the British International Motor Show. A stylish sports car modeled on the new 6 engine. While most English cars were still large, high-performance cars, this elegant and elegant piece of design art was especially welcome. JAG also drove big there with a powerful engine and balanced chassis. Unlimited success was born and the name XK is still synonymous with the beautiful and fast predatory cat of the Jaguar.


How did Hermann work on his cars in a perfect way.

"Hats and a deep bow" for this piece of craftsmanship, passion and especially his enthusiasm.



How long has the Jaguar XK120 been in production? What is the top speed of the Jaguar XK120.

Jaguar XK120 The XK120 was in production almost unchanged for six years before it was succeeded by the XK140 in 1954. The term 120 is derived from the engine's top speed. The new XK's 3.4-liter "six straight" engine was tested for speed in a car with an aluminum body and at 120 mph the power was gone. With this achievement in the pocket, the XK120 was the fastest production car at the time. Who the XK140 takes its name from may be clear in this case.


How did real Jaguar experts rate the performance of the Jaguar XK120.

Real Jaguar specialists technically speak about their performance. To outsiders, terms like OTS, DHC, and FHC are a kind of spell. Herman's XK120 is OTS, where the acronym stands for Open Two Seater. DHC was the Drop Head Coupe, a more luxurious and spacious convertible than the OTS. The coupe version of the XK is complemented by the term FHC. The acronym stands for Fixed Head Coupe. The British reasoning for calling the convertible a coupe, but in another way is very simple. You just need to know!
