Model history

The Jaguar XK 120 FHC (Fixed Head Coupe) was first introduced in 1951 as a coupé version of the successful XK 120 Roadster. The XK 120 was known for its elegant lines and impressed with a top speed of 120 miles per hour, which gave it its name. The FHC version featured a fixed roof structure that improved both aerodynamics and ride comfort. Under the hood was a 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine with two overhead camshafts, which produced 160 hp. Production of the XK 120 FHC ended in 1954, when it was replaced by the XK 140. However, the XK 120 remains an iconic model in Jaguar's history and is still highly sought after by classic car enthusiasts today.
