Signature Models 1/18 Jaguar XK120 Hardtop Silver (18120S)
The Jaguar XK120 was manufactured between 1949 and 1954. It was the first post-war sports
car from the marque, succeeding the SS100 which ended production in 1940 with the start of
the war in Britain. The XK120 was launched at the 1948 London Motor Show as a test bed and
show vehicle to highlight the new Jaguar XK engine. The car caused a sensation, which
persuaded William Lyons to put it into production as a standard model.The first cars
manufactured in 1948 and 1949 had hand built aluminum bodies on an ash frame. Jaguar built
240 of these alloy bodied cars prior to moving to a more mass production XK120 in order to
meet the demand for this popular model. With the 1950 model year a production version had a
steel pressed body with alloy doors, bonnet, and trunk skin. Other features included
torsion bar front suspension, and a removable windscreen.
Nice detailed model of the well known sports car in its hard top version with opening doors,bonnet and boot, moveable wheels with white walled tyres, detailed interior, model length approx 25cm
