Jaguar XK120, The Remarkable History Of JWK 651
Weight 1.2kg by Chas Parker & Philip Porter
JWK 651 was one of a batch of six aluminium lightweight competition cars built to help promote the new Jaguar XK120 and, usually in the hands of Leslie Johnson, it was the hardest working. The car saw action at Le Mans, on the Mille Miglia, Tourist Trophy, in rallies and setting several production car speed records. This lavishly illustrated work covers the car’s competition career (along with brief round-ups of the careers of its siblings) and its activity in historic motorsport later. There is also plenty of technical information and a series of fine studio shots of her now, restored in the 1950 Le Mans livery.
