Jaguar XK On Display at the Cincinnati Concours

The outstanding Jaguar XK was one of the automobiles showcased at this year's Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance. Here is a 1962 XK 120 fixed head coupe. Only a little over 2500 fixed heard coupes were built by Jaguar.
Like the 120, this 1965 XK 140 MC fixed head coupe saw only a little over 2500 ever built. The 140 was the first Jaguar sports car to be offered with an automatic transmission.
This 1959 XK 150 S OTS Roadster represents the last model of the XK series. About 2200 of these cars were built and sold. This car has undergone two restorations.
This 1954 XK 120 OTS was converted to a vintage racer in 1985. Essentially it is stock except for safety gear and an upgraded engine.
A 2010 restoration saved this 1953 XK 120 Drop Head Coupe. The car features aluminum body parts for the bonnet or hood, the boot or trunk, and the doors.
Here is a 1954 XK 140 MC OTS. About 3300 140 MC models were built, sporting an upgraded engine and twin exhaust.

Here is a 1954 XK 120 OTS. This car had racing factory options. In fact, in their heyday, the 120 OTS set number speed records and was a frequent winner at various race tracks.
