Jay Leno was all the rage when he drove a Jaguar X K-120 at this year’s prestigious Oldtimer classic Mille Miglia. The 3 million Dollar car also starred at the 2014 Italian Concorso d'Eleganza. The Concorso takes place at Lake Como which is the home to Hollywood superstar George Clooney.

Despite other very expensive and exclusive cars from all over the world the Jaguar drew most of the audiences attention. The car sets new standards in the 1950s for speed, durability and design.
