Jaguar XK120 OTS Roadster
Jaguar's debut of the twin-cam XK engine sent shockwaves through the motor industry — a 3.4-litre six producing 160 hp in a body so beautiful that William Lyons is said to have designed it himself over a weekend. At 200 km/h it was the world's fastest production car at launch.
