This four-door executive saloon was an instant hit with businessmen and even heads of state, boasting a sporting pedigree cemented after it secured a podium place at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1951.Dazzling examples of both the Mark V and XK120 will be on Regent Street to mark their respective sapphire anniversaries, where they will be rubbing bumpers with a number of XJ saloons.Along with the annual London Motor Show, Regent Street is one of the capital\u2019s must-attend highlights on the calendars of car fans, serving as a showcase of 125 years of motoring, with veteran, vintage, classic and modern-day cars.If this sounds like your kind of thing, the Illinois Route 66 Regent Street Motor Show opens from 10:30 to 16:00 on Saturday November 3rd as part of London Motor Week.Visit http:\/\/regentstreetmotorshow.com\/ for more info."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Jaguar to shine on Regent Street","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/jaguar-to-shine-on-regent-street\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
