The XK models of the mid-to-late Forties were Jaguars earliest sports cars – the first of which, the XK120, took its name from its top speed. That made it the fastest production car of its day, a claim which caused such astonishment that Jaguar decided to hold a public display on a closed section of dual carriageway near the town of Jabbeke, Belgium.
The XK range was subsequently refined and upgraded throughout the following decade until the XK150 came along in 1957. As well as receiving engine, suspension and styling upgrades, it was also the first roadgoing Jaguar to be fitted with disc brakes, which had so far only been tested on the company’s endurance racers.
For an extra fix of the Jaguar Heritage Experience, why not let one of our professional driving experts do the hard work while you sit back and enjoy the show from the passenger seat?
With many years of experience between them, our team of drivers know how to get the most from these wonderful machines, and will demonstrate speed and performance that – even by today’s standards – might just surprise you.
While you might not be in control of the pedals, remember, sometimes a good co-driver is just as important as the man behind the wheel… Each passenger experience includes approx 10 minutes driving time.
