Jaguar XK120 Set

The Jaguar XK120 has become one of the immortals of sports car history. This book is written by the former Chief Archivist of Jaguar Heritage. Drawing from company records, he has been able to provide information on the XK120 that has never been available to enthusiasts before. The complete production history and specification changes, competition and record-breaking activities are all covered in detail, with commissioned colour photography of selected examples. Few, if any, Jaguar XK120s can have enjoyed a more fascinating and varied life than chassis number 660725. Just under two-thirds of the total production was allocated to the Roadster, which had caused such a stir at the 1948 London Motor Show. Of that, 660725 was one of just 1,173 right-hand-drive Roadsters constructed.

"Apart from now being the longest-serving XK120 owner, I also consider myself the most fortunate, lucky, accidental, blessed, providential – call it what you will – owner. Why? Because no fictional script writer could have come up with the number or variety of experiences, both dangerous and funny, in so many different countries and environments, that any combination of car and man would experience together.’ Bob Henderson, January 2013
