1950s XK Jaguars

These cars all competed in the AMOC 50sSports Cars Race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2015.

This car is not listed in the programme of the event, but it's the Jaguar XK120 of Siamak Siassis and should have the 6-cylinder inline 3,442cc Jaguar XK6 engine. 12,055 of these cars were made between 1949 and 1954.

Another car not shown in the programme, this is the 1955 Jaguar XK140 of Alexis de Beaumont, chassis S804523, and has the 3,781cc version of the Jaguar XK6 engine. The Jaguar XK140 was produced between 1954 and 1957, and was only offered with the 3,442cc version of the engine, so the larger engine must be a subsequent replacement.

This is the 1959 Jaguar XK150 of Andrew Moore and has the 3,781cc version of the XK6 engine. The XK150 was produced from 1957 to 1961, initially with the 3,442cc engine, and the 3,781cc unit was offered as an alternative on the S and SE models from 1959.

This is the 3,781cc Jaguar XK6 engine of the 1951 Jaguar XK120 of Chris Keith-Lucas, the larger unit  replacing the original 3,442cc engine.
