JAGUAR XK120
JAGUAR XK120
The Jaguar XK120 is a sports car which was manufactured by Jaguar
between 1948 and 1954. It was Jaguar's first sports car since the SS
100, which ceased production in 1940.
The XK120 was launched in
roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a testbed and show car
for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation, which persuaded
Jaguar founder and design boss William Lyons to put it into production.
In 1949 the first customer car, chassis number 670003, was delivered to
Clark Gable.
The "120" in its name referred to its 120 mph (193
km/h) top speed (faster with the windscreen removed), which made the
XK120 the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its
launch.[4]
It was available in two open versions, first as the
roadster (designated OTS, for open two-seater, in America), then also as
a drophead coupé (DHC) from 1953; and also as a closed, or "fixed-head"
coupé (FHC) from 1951. The DHC was a more deluxe open model, with
wind-up windows, and wood-veneer dashboard and interior door caps, as on
the FHC.
A smaller-engined version intended for the UK market was cancelled prior to production.
In
1950 and 1951, at a banked oval track in France, XK120 roadsters
averaged over 100 mph for 24 hours and over 130 mph for an hour, and in
1952 a fixed-head coupé took numerous world records for speed and
distance when it averaged 100 mph for a week.
Roadsters were also successful in racing and rallying.

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride Pamplona 2014
El pasado 5 de Octubre Pamplona celebró el DGR 2014, Distinguished Gentleman`s Ride, una convocatoria
surgida en Sydney (Australia) en el año 2012 como un divertimento y un
ejercicio de estilo, aunque desde 2013 el
evento es una cita destinada a recaudar fondos para la investigación
contra la lucha del cáncer de próstata. Su éxito es tal que se ha
extendido a mas de 250 ciudades de todo el mundo con una participación
de 20.000 “riders” vestidos elegantemente para la ocasión, recuperando
clásicos trajes de tweed, monóculos, pipas, bigotes (...a menudo “de
pega”), chalecos, etc. La ocasión es idónea para desempolvar las motos
clásicas, ya sean scooters, cafe-racers, o bobbers.
La edición del 2014 ha contado con Triumph como principal patrocinador.
