1955 Jaguar XK120 DHC

Early Jaguar XKs have many letters assigned to describing how these beautiful cars are specified. The DHC in this case means Drop Head Coupe or a convertible with a nice folding roof and roll-up windows. It is fitted with extra wood in the interior too.

Exterior changes that distinguished it from the XK120 included more substantial front and rear bumpers with overriders, and flashing turn signals located above the front bumper. The interior was made more comfortable for taller drivers by moving the engine, firewall and dash forward to give 3 inches more leg room. Read More
