Film actor Clark Gable was a well-known car collector, who owned Duesenbergs including a JN and one of the two famed SSJs - as well as a Packard Eight Convertible Victoria, a Mercedes 300SC and a 300SL Gullwing. This Jaguar is one of three XK120s that Gable had, so he was no stranger to the Coventry marque.

Lorry-loads of fun
AND SO ANOTHER classic car season comes to a close. I recently took the XK out to gatecrash the 96 Club gathering in Chesham Place, Belgravia, which is always extremely enjoyable but is just a trundle up the road as part of my Tour de Chelsea.
