Jaguar XK 120 OTS (9x7)

Air date: Apr 29, 2024

François Allain is entrusted with a major mission for a collector: to bring back to life a Jaguar XK120 OTS, a true jewel of the roads that has marked the past decades. Without hesitation, François dives into the restoration of this roaring icon: the engine requires disassembly piece by piece, a complete reconstruction, and meticulous assembly. The gearbox, complex with its many small parts, must be disassembled, new parts acquired, and everything cleaned before being reassembled. François has two months to transform himself into a true mechanical conductor.
