Jaguar's test driver, Ron 'Soapy' Sutton, drove an XK120 on May 30, 1949 along a specially closed section of motorway at 126.594 mph. This was with the convertible hood and windscreen in place.

A few minutes later, with the hood removed and the aero screen fitted, the XK120 raised the top speed to 132.6 mph - a record for a standard production car.
