The XK120 Fixed Head Coupe, introduced in 1951, offered weather protection without sacrificing the roadster's stunning proportions. With only 2,678 examples built, the FHC is the rarest of the XK120 variants, making it highly sought after by collectors today. The steel roof and side windows transformed the car's character, creating a more refined grand tourer while maintaining the 120-mph performance that made the XK120 legendary. The coupe's flowing roofline, arguably even more beautiful than the roadster's, influenced sports car design for decades. Interior appointments were more luxurious than the roadster, with better weather sealing and reduced wind noise. Values have appreciated significantly as collectors recognize the FHC's perfect balance of performance, beauty, and rarity. Restored examples command premiums over roadsters, while original survivors are increasingly precious as the foundation of any serious Jaguar collection.
