Lot 23

1954 JAGUAR XK120 FIXED HEAD COUPE

Registration Number: BJK 966

Chassis Number: 669158

Recorded Mileage: 04547 miles

- Original RHD example

- In current ownership for c.26 years

- Recently displayed at the Geneva Motor Show

The XK120 set new standards of comfort, roadholding, performance and styling for British sports cars and, in keeping with Jaguar tradition, there was nothing to touch it at the price.

One of only 152 UK/RHD Fixed Head Coupes, BJK 966 was delivered in May 1954 via Willets of Eastbourne to a Mr. Leslie Kirkham Green, who was such a loyal customer of Jaguar that he purchased a new XK model every year! In the intervening years BJK 966 spent most of its time in Essex, with a brief sojourn to Yorkshire, and for the 26 years has resided with its current owner in Wiltshire. In previous ownership the XK was subject of a comprehensive 10 year restoration by specialist Peter Madge, and has been uprated with a replacement 3.4 litre engine (D-8691-8), fitted with an optional ‘C-Type’ head and 2” sand cast carburettors, giving a useful power increase to 210bhp.

Further modern upgrades include the fitting of a brake servo, front disc brakes, copper brake lines, Kenlowe cooling fan and a dual-pipe stainless steel exhaust system. Originally finished in Birch Grey with a Red Leather interior, during restoration by specialist Peter Madge in 2007 the Jaguar was stripped to bare metal and refinished in its current shade of Old English White. The engine was expertly rebuilt to in 2015 to fast-road specification at a cost of c. £9,000. The car has been meticulously maintained in current ownership, supported by regular maintenance bills. 

A regular invitee and attendee at important marque events throughout the UK and Europe, BJK has just returned from a starring role at the 2024 Geneva Classic Motor Show. Offered with current V5C and older style V5 documents, buff log book, car cover, Heritage Certificate and owners manual, this wonderfully preserved example will surely become the pride of its future owner’s collection.

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
