Road Offroad
December 3rd, 2009
The 1951 Jag XK120 Was a Winner on the Roadway and on the Racecourse
Since the gas-powered engine was first patented in 1886, many cars, car styles, and automobile companies have come and gone . Yet, among the thousands of cars that have been designed and built over the course of those years, few have achieved the dual success both on the road and on the racetrack as the 1951 jag XK120.
The demanding, prestigious LeMans Race was won by XK120 cars in 1951 and 1953.
Brief Jaguar history
- 1945, named changed to Jaguar
- 2008, peak of cars sold
- 1922, Swallow Sidecar Co. launches to build motorcycle sidecars
- Based in Blackpool, England, company expands to car bodies
The XK120 was capable of reaching speeds of 140 mph thanks to its 160 hp 3.4 liter Inline 6-cylinder engine. All XK120’s, including the popular roadster, were equipped with split windshields, cramped cockpits, and “bullet” headlights.
Shooting for practicality, Jaguar added a Fixed Head Coupe feature to the XK120 in 1951 to protect the passenger cabin from the elements. Many think the XK120, in design, was a forerunner of the initial Corvette.
Between 1951 and today, the price of an XK120 has escalated from $3,805 to about $100,000. The performance, styling, and price of the XK120 made is an attractive alternative to the Ferrari, which was priced three times higher.
Possibly in the same class of styling and performance in the early 50’s with the Jag XK120 were the Farrari and Cadillac-powered Allard.
Even if you cannot bring home a diecast car to provide joy for your husband or wife, you can provide him or her with a comparable precision die-cast replica which, for only a few dollars, is a 1:24 reproduction of the original with many of the same features, only on a much smaller scale. Less that 8” long, these replicas come with opening doors and hoods, detailed interior, and a great look at the car’s 3.4 liter Inline 6-cylinder engine.
