10 Memorable Cars in Jaguar’s 75 Years
Jaguar XK120
Built from 1948 to 1954, it was Jaguar’s first sports car since the demise of the SS 100 in 1940. It had a wooden frame and handcrafted aluminum body. Lighter, more powerful racing versions were also created. The name comes from the fact that the XK120 could reach a top speed of 120 mph. The American manufacturers struck back soon after with cars like the Chevy Corvette.
