Jaguar XK120

Here are three Jaguar XK120s that took part in the AMOC '50s Sports Cars race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2015.

This is Andrew Wenman's 1952 car which the programme of the event says had a 3.8 litre engine instead of the 3.4 litre unit of the original XK120.

This is the 1951 car of Chris Keith-Lucas, again with the larger 3.8 litre engine.

This is another 1951 car, that of Simiak Siassi, and it's a replica of the three lightweight Jaguar XK120s that were prepared for the 1951 Le Mans 24 Hour race when it was thought that the new C-Types would not be ready in time. The XK120s did not race, however, as the C-Types were available for the race which was won by one of those cars, driven by Peter Walker and Peter Whitehead.

You can see all three of these cars in a couple of the photographs I took at Britten's chicane during the race when I featured an Austin Healey 100/4 on 7 March 2018, though Simiak Siassi's car is almost hidden behind a blue Jaguar XK140 Coupe.
