24-255 Jaguar XK120 Crystal Scale Model

OK people. This is fantastic. Jaguar XK120. 7 inches long. 24% lead crystal. Made in Germany in the 1980s. Similar to the line “Magic Crystal for Men” by Hofbauer. This version, probably Czech, is clear throughout. The Hofbauer version mixes frosted and clear. A great addition for collectors or to be used as a decorative object or functional paperweight.

The Jaguar XK120 is a sports car manufactured by Jaguar between 1948 and 1954. The body originally had rear wheel well covers. After 1953 the rear wheel was exposed. The “120” in the name referred to the aluminum car’s 120 mph (193 km/h) top speed (faster with the windscreen removed), which made it the world’s fastest production car at the time of its launch. In 1949 the first production car was delivered to Clark Gable.
