	FiBoy's Jaguar renovations; Mk 1, Mk 7 Saloons and XJ 12 Coupe
		Although the sleek lines of the thoroughbred XK120 sports car - one of the world's greatest roadsters - were sensational and exotic in the end of forties my preference has always been the Jaguar Vintage Saloons because of their impeccable styling and old-school design.
		The changes made are subtle and I think the result is a tribute to Sir Lyons, the original divine contours of Jaguar XJC V12 have not lost a bit of their charm dating 30 years back.
		Raisa is driving the modernized Jaguar XJ 5.3C to the first meeting of a new club "HJK - Hollolan Jaguar Klubi", which was founded to serve Jaguar owners in the Päijät-Häme district in Finland.

	Jaguar automobile history and database - the Jaguar XK120
		It was never produced because the cost would have been almost the same as the XK120 due to the fact that initially the cars were largely handbuilt and this accounted for the largest percentage of the total cost.
		At that time Jaguar had an engine - the newly developed 6 cylinder XK unit, but the large sedan for which it was intended was not ready.
		In the meantime Jaguar badly needed to stir up some excitement, as its range was still of pre-war design, so the XK Open Two Seater Super Sports as it was then known was designed as a "show car" for the 1948 Motor Show.

	CanadianDriver: Jaguar XK120
		Jaguar had built sports roadsters before the war, most notably the SS-100, later the Jaguar 100, but felt that a new post-war car was needed.
		When the new XK120 Jaguar was introduced at Earls Court, rotating on a tilted platform, its impact on the crowd was electric.
		And the new Jaguar was priced at a modest 1,275 pounds sterling, a figure so low that sceptics predicted it would never come to market for that, if it came at all.

	autoclassic.com :: the history of classic cars : 1948 Jaguar XK120
		Jaguar (once known as SS-Jaguar) had started planning for its post-war existence while the bombs were still falling on Coventry.
		Not only that, but it was one of the silkiest and most refined engines Jaguar had produced, the car being equally happy to potter along at 30 mph in towns, or at a stress-free 100 mph on open roads.
		Not only was the XK120 wildly successful all over the world, but it was also a great rally car, and in some events a useful race car too.

		The Jaguar, followed the British tradition (and further defined this tradition), was more powerful and elegant than its German rival, while the Porsche had better handling and stronger brakes (sadly, Jaguar's drum brakes were not up to its job).
		Their idea was a car powered by a V12 as Jaguar's tradition, but with advanced 4-valves heads and a full 6 litres of capacity so that target power output was set as high as 500 hp.
		As a result, Jaguar found it difficult to sell the production run of 350 cars, especially the price was set at a sky-high 475,000 pounds, which was four times of a Lamboghini Diablo and twice the price of Bugatti EB110.

	Jaguar News - Jaguar's XK180 To Star in XK120 Anniversary - 19 May 1999
		Jaguar's XK1 80 roadster - the star of last autumn's Paris Motor Show - will join the celebrations of a landmark world record established by the Coventry-based luxury car manufacturer fifty years ago.
		Jaguar also plans to run a series of historically interesting XK-engined cars along the highway in addition to the XK180 roadster - which was conceived as the spiritual successor to the great XK-engined Jaguar roadsters of the fifties.
		In the late nineteen forties it was one of the very few stretches of motorway in Europe available for high speed testing and was an ideal venue for Sir William Lyons and his engineers to demonstrate the performance potential of the XK1 20.

	Jaguar XK120/140/150
		Designed to be a low-volume dream car rather than a high production motor car, the Jaguar XK120/140/150 became an overnight sensation and highly profitable.
		The new 3.4 litre straight six was a silky smooth engine, using twin cams and twin SU carburettors to develop 160 bhp.

		Turning the first XK120 concept car, free of tooling or testing into a roadworthy pleasantry was a huge task and Jaguar's owner, Sir William Lyons, had the tenacity to announce immediate production plans after the show.
		Before 1949, Jaguar only played a small role in motor sports, but after the debut of the XK120, everyone was interested to see how the cars would perform on the track.
		Jaguar was no doubt interested as well and some of the very first cars were prepared for Silverstone where they took both first and second place.

		Launched at the 1954 Motor show the XK140 was very much an evolution of the XK120, and introduced several practical drivability features, including rack and pinion steering, replacing the 120's recirculating ball system, and telescopic dampers replacing the archaic lever arm dampers.
		A nearly identical design was later to be used on the Jaguar 2.4 liter (MK I) in 1956.
		As with the XK120 a futher option was an more powerful 210 bhp engine with the "C" type cylinder head and larger 2 inch SU carburetors.

		It was sensationally fast too; in production as the Jaguar XK120 it would soon be proven that 120 really did stand for 120mph, making it the fastest standard production car in the world.
		And once again Jaguar boss William Lyons had pulled off his favourite trick: his latest feline beauty also offered sensational value for money, compared with anything else in its class.
		In 1950 tooling for steel-bodied cars was ready and the XK120 took off as an export earner, with over 85% of all XK120s going to foreign climes.
