The Jaguar XK120 was a sports car manufactured by Jaguar between 1948 and 1954. It was the first post-war sports car from the marque, succeeding the SS 100.
Hollywood stars such as Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Clark Gable and Lauren Bacall all owned one.

This is a 1951 steel bodied car with alloy doors, bonnet and boot lid to save weight. It has had just 4 owners and covered only 44,000 miles since new.

It is currently fitted with a slightly warmer motor, “C” Type Jaguar gearbox and 2” Twin SU Carburettors, it will be sold with the original engine block, cylinder head and 1”3/4 carburettors. It performs very well in comparison to modern traffic, capable of a top speed of just over 200 kmh and 0-60 mph in bang on 10 seconds.

The car is finished in the classic colour combination of BRG and tan leather with a black convertible top. It was restored some time ago but still presents extremely well with a lovely degree of patina that is so lovely with these cars. This is a great car for the enthusiast owner who would like to be part of the XK’s 60th birthday celebrations this year.

Part of a collection and has been in the same ownership for over 25 years.

A super stately driver.
