About this car

The XK120 was the car that announced Jaguar to the post-war world: a 120mph roadster with a twin-cam six-cylinder engine, at a time when few production cars came close. This 1953 open two-seater (OTS) is one of the many XK120s that were originally ordered by American buyers.

It was fully restored between 2004 and 2013 and has a Heritage certificate and a new MOT. The current owner bought it in 2021 and has since made a number of upgrades. These include a five-speed gearbox (the original Moss box is available with the car), front disc brakes, a thermostatically controlled electric fan and an aluminium radiator.

No mileage or registration is given.
