The Record Holder at speed
Race prepared straight 6 cylinder (NO Supercharger) Jaguar engined 1952 XK 120, timed at 172.4 MPH in '53 !!!! Looking aggressively mean, at speed on Hiway 1 south of Carmel California. Restored to race prep specs, and now owned and cared for by a Swiss gentleman, Kurt A. Engelhorn, St. Moritz, and co-piloted by a rugged gentleman who looks like he has been transported from the '30s Germany......
The "120" in the name referred to the aluminium car's 120 mph (193 km/h) top speed (faster with the windscreen removed), which made it the world's fastest production car at the time of its launch. In 1949 the first production car, chassis number 670003, was delivered to Clark Gable.
