Stunning 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster. This XK120 was treated to a high quality restoration. The car has a gorgeous Pastel Blue Metallic blue paintjob, brilliantly refinished chrome, and a beautiful gray leather interior. It looks beautiful, runs great, and is a pleasure to drive.

This is an excellent opportunity to own a very rare and highly desirable classic Jaguar. According to the Jaguar Heritage Trust only 700 LHD XK120 roadsters were made for 1951. The market on Jaguar XK's is very hot right now, especially for premium examples like this car. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come. There is no way someone could purchase a similar Jaguar and restore it to this level of quality for anything near our asking price. The previous owner said that the restoration was completed in 2014. He also said that when he purchased the car the engine and transmission were still in the crates from being rebuilt. Please peruse all of the photos, video, and other information below to get a true sense of how exceptionally nice this Jaguar really is.

The Pastel Blue Metallic exterior is in beautiful condition. The finish has dazzling gloss, deep shine, and smooth finish. The wheels and spinners are in excellent condition with a great finish and no curb rash. The wide whitewall tires are sized 6.0-16 and have been used sparingly since the restoration and have plenty of tread left. The chrome looks amazing with a bright and brilliant finish. The convertible top is in wonderful condition with no rips, holes, or frayed edges. The side windows are still wrapped up from the restoration and have never been installed on the car. There are no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. There is some slight delamination on the edge of the left windshield glass. This Jaguar is totally solid with absolutely no rust; the bottom of the car is exceptionally clean and almost as nice as the topside.

Interior

The gray interior of the Jaguar looks utterly splendid. The quality of the workmanship and materials is top-notch. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are crystal clear. The seats are in excellent condition with no split seams, rips, or excessive wear. The carpet is also in great condition with no stains, rips, or holes. The interior chrome and bright work are in wonderful shape with a superb finish. The dash is in terrific condition with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The door panels look excellent. This car has not been smoked in; there are obviously no burn marks or aroma of cigarettes what-so-ever.

The trunk is very clean, highly detailed, and well-trimmed with a matching full size spare, matching chrome wire wheel rim, and jack.

Mechanical

This Jaguar XK120 seems to be in good mechanical condition. The 3.4 litre inline six engine starts every time, runs well, and idles smooth. The car drives nicely on the road and at highway speeds. Please note that there are no vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts when you take your time with the shifts, the shifter is tight, and does not pop out of gear. The clutch feels good. The horn works, the right wiper works, but the left needs a hand. The turn signals do not work. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this Jaguar, especially with the top down on a beautiful day.
