At the 1948 London Motor Show, visitors swarmed Jaguar's stand to glimpse a sensational new sportscar showcasing the advanced new twin-cam six-cylinder XK engine. The feverish reaction convinced Sir William Lyons to put the car into production, and in just a few short months, the stunning new XK120 debuted as the fastest production car in the world. 

This striking FHC &#40;Fixed Head Coupé&#41; variant of Jaguar's legendary sports car has been made even faster courtesy of a host of well-considered modifications beneath the skin. Replacing the original 3.4-litre engine is a later 4.2-litre unit, thoroughly modified by the respected UK specialist, Guy Broad. It is reported to have high-compression pistons, big valves, D-Type camshafts, a lightened flywheel and electronic ignition. It breathes in through triple SU HD8 carburetors, and out through a custom performance exhaust system. Making a reported 260 bhp, it puts that ample power down through a Tremec 5-speed gearbox and limited slip differential, while uprated front disc brakes keep things in check. 

Inside, feather-light Tillet carbonfibre sports seats provide welcome support through the bends, while the rest of the cabin retains the period charm. Undoubtedly quick, this exciting XK120 is ideally suited for fast road use, rallies, and tours worldwide. Delivered new to the USA, it is being sold on Swiss veteran registration documents.
