1954 Jaguar XK120 | Ridgmont, Bedfordshire

The Jaguar XK120 is the post-war British sports car named for its 120 mph top speed. It is liked for its long bonnet, flowing wings and twin-cam six-cylinder engine. Its low, streamlined shape reads clearly as the early 1950s. This car is a 1954 roadster in pristine white over red leather, and its condition is given as restoration. The 3442cc engine produces a throaty growl, so the car has a voice as well as a look. The open two-seat cockpit keeps driver and passenger in clear view. Fashion and editorial shoots and advertising can use the white bodywork against the red cabin for a strong, simple contrast. Film, TV and music video work set in the 1950s gets period shape and sound, and photography has long curves to work with. Weddings and milestone days suit it as well. The car is based in Ridgmont, Bedfordshire.
