Field Guide to Post-War XK Jaguar Spotting

From 1948 – 1961, Great Britain in general and Coventry in particular were trying to recover from the utter devastation of WWII.  Jaguar produced three different models built with their XK DOHC 6-cylinder engine:  (XK120, XK140, and XK150), each with three different body styles: The Open Two Seater/roadster/OTS, Drophead coupe/convertible/DHC, and the Fixedhead coupe/hardtop/FHC).

  • All have faired headlights like MGTF; Morgans, and TR-2&3
