Sellers description:
Up for sale is one of our customer's cars. This 1951 Jaguar XK 120 is a numbers-matching, running & driving, fully-registered example that would be a great candidate for a restoration.
This car was originally pastel blue metallic. There is evidence of this color inside in trunk & one of the disc wheels. The white paint on the body now is cracking badly and was literally coming off the trunk lid & rear body panels. We thought stripping the paint & exposing the bare body there to potential restorers was a good idea. Discussing priming of this area is possible before shipping.
Also, you may have noticed the wire wheels up front. These were installed to enable the car to receive a disc brake conversion leaving the disc wheels on the rear. You could convert the entire car to w/w's but you would not be able to use the spats. The original parts to put the front back to drum brakes and disc wheels are still around & go with the car.
The car has a convertible top & side curtains. Not working right now is the speedo, temp gauge and clock. The drivetrain, however, is good. The engine fires right up, runs smoothly & quiet with good oil pressure. The trans shifts well considering the car's age & the clutch works fine. This car drives quite well and has good brakes.
Rust is not a serious issue with this car - there is rust but it is going to take you a while to find it. No one has patched anything as far as I can tell except for the trunk handle area (photos). Examine the pictures of the chassis closely & you get a sense of what this car is all about.
We feel this to be a perfect candidate for a restoration. Almost unmolested, this car has only suffered minor indignities including a repaint & change of color, and the front-wheel brake change. Otherwise, the car is virtually original. Considering the fact that this is a running, & driving car, it stands out as a considerably easier undertaking. One could paint the car, restore the interior and be ready for a cars & coffee.
Considering the vast array of prices & conditions of the cars up for sale, we feel that we have priced this car fairly.
