1950 Jaguar XK120

This was one of the exhibits at the Northern Classic Car Show in Belle Vue, Manchester in September 1984.
It's Ian Appleyard's 1950 Jaguar XK120, most famous for its exploits in the Alpine Rally, where it won a Coupe des Alpes (Alpine Cup) in 1950, which was awarded for finishing the event unpenalised. Ian Appleyard repeated this feat with the car in 1951 and 1952, thus being awarded a Coupe d'Or (Gold Cup) for winning a Coupe des Alpes in three consecutive years. He also won the RAC Rally and the Tulip Rally in 1951 with NUB 120.

Jaguar XK120

This was one of the cars on display at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997.
It's the 1950 Jaguar XK120, powered by the 3,442cc straight-6 DOHC XK6 engine, in which Ian Applyard won a Coupe des Alpes in the Alpine Rally for three consecutive years, from 1950 to 1952. On 2 December 2015 I showed a photograph of this car that I took at Oulton Park in 2004.
