Following on from the roadster and cabriolet versions, the coupé XK 120, or to give it its proper name the "FHC - Fixed Head Coupé", with 120 standing for its maximum speed in miles per hour, was exhibited at the 1951 Show. In its various versions, thanks to extremely attractive prices, the different 120 models were successful on a worldwide scale and allowed Jaguar to conquer the North American market.
