Named for its 120 mph top speed, the XK120 was the world's fastest production car and debuted Jaguar's legendary XK inline-6 engine. It's a blue-chip collectible today, with the first 242 aluminum-bodied roadsters being the most sought-after.
Typical sold price of a Jaguar XK120 ranges from $25,225 to $207,769, based on 1,095 sales tracked on Hypercars. 95 currently for sale.
Unveiled at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Jaguar XK120 was an immediate sensation. Originally intended as a limited-run showcase for Jaguar's new dual overhead-cam XK inline-6 engine, overwhelming public demand pushed it into full production. It became the world's fastest production car, with its name reflecting its 120 mph top speed. The first 242 roadsters featured aluminum bodies over an ash frame, after which production switched to more easily produced steel bodies.
Collectors prize the XK120 for its groundbreaking performance and what many consider one of the most beautiful automotive designs of all time. Its success in motorsport, including at Le Mans and the Alpine Rally, adds to its historical importance. The early, hand-built alloy-bodied cars are the most desirable, but the later Fixed Head Coupé (FHC) and Drop Head Coupé (DHC) models offer more practicality and comfort than the spartan Open Two Seater (OTS) roadster.
The XK120 market is well-established, with a wide value range based on body style, condition, and provenance. While the average price sits around $79,000, pristine and historically significant examples, especially alloy-bodied cars, can fetch over $300,000. Project cars are available for much less, but buyers should be aware that restoration costs can easily exceed the value of a finished car.
Prices for the Jaguar XK120 range from around $3,800 for major projects to over $311,000 for top-tier examples.
