Jaguar's first purpose-built racing car, made from 1951 to 1953 by putting XK120 running gear into a light tubular frame under a streamlined aluminium body. It won Le Mans at its first try in 1951 and again in 1953, that time with disc brakes. Only about fifty were built, and many cars wearing the name are later recreations.
