The 1952 Jaguar XK 120 OTS
English, fully restored, 1000 Miglia eligible, is the Jaguar XK 120. The fastest luxury sports car in the world, in 1950.
It was the favorite of successful personalities and movie stars, such as Clark Gabel, Elizabeth Taylor, Tyrone Power, Ingrid Bergman—in short, the entire Hollywood jet set. In more recent years, Elton John loved it so much that he owned more than twenty examples, with liveries in various colors, matching the outfits worn by the famous British composer and singer.
It was available in two open versions, the two-seater OTS roadster and the convertible. This Jaguar also enjoyed great success in racing.
The 120 refers to the 120 mph (193 km/h) top speed (with the windshield installed).
The Jaguar XK6 engine is technically advanced and very powerful, producing 160 hp.
Aesthetically, it is one of the most beautiful sports cars ever, with its sinuous and flowing lines from the very long hood to the tailgate. The prominent fenders and front end have a sculptural configuration that seems to have been modeled by a master sculptor. The sides without obvious handles and the high-quality finishes, even inside, reveal the class and unmistakable elegance of this car.
