With its elegant lines and unmistakable silhouette, the XK120 stands as one of the most timeless vehicles in existence and one that set a new world standard when it came dashing onto the scene. The 120-mph Jaguar would go on to further its name by winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans five times in seven years. Its success on and off the track would create a craze among the public, and drive sales to new heights. Originally introduced in 1948, the Jaguar XK120 was constructed of aluminum and would be for 1949 as well. As demand increased, Jaguar took the necessary steps in 1950 and switched from aluminum bodies to steel so mass production could be reached. Before the change was made, a mere and scarce number of just 240 aluminum body XK120s left the factory, making the 1948 and ’49 model years the most desirable of all XK120s.
