A beautiful unique, unrestored and 100% original early Jaguar XK. Still features the studless cilinder head and exhaust exhiting behand L.R. Wheel. Interior fully original and with fantastic patina. Mechanicals perfect. No rust, do damage or signs of repairs, drives like a dream. A true time capsule!

The XK120 was in the united states until 1999, after that was exported to France, where it resided in the Bordeaux area.

More information to come. which I will post later.

If anybody has more information about the history of this car in California, would be very much appreciated.

Truly original and well preserved XK120s have become very difficult to find. However, the XK120 we are proud to offer is such a rare untouched example in great condition. Originally a California black plate car, it was brought to France later in it's life, where we found it in a garage near Bordeaux. The bodywork and panels are beautiful, straight and has never been welded. Most of the paint is still original, the remainder at least 50 years old. The interior is entirely original apart from the driver's floormat and has an amazing patina. Being a low mileage example, the engine and gearbox work beautifully well and smooth and the XK drives almost like when it came out of the factory. The car has got many details that were lost on most XK's, such as the leather wrapped springs. We can go on and on about how much we love this car. Like the mona lisa, she is the epitome of classic beauty.
