It's Ian Appleyard's 1950
Jaguar XK120, most famous for its exploits in the Alpine Rally, where it won a
Coupe des Alpes (Alpine Cup) in 1950, which was awarded for finishing the event
unpenalised. Ian Appleyard repeated this feat with the car in 1951 and 1952,
thus being awarded a Coupe d'Or (Gold Cup) for winning a Coupe des Alpes in
three consecutive years. He also won the RAC Rally and the Tulip Rally in 1951
with NUB 120.
