Description:

This refurbished, left-hand-drive 1954 Jaguar XK120 Open Two Seat Roadster has been part of a New Hampshire museum although it has never been displayed, according to its president, who has listed the car for auction. The refurbishment dates to 1999 but presents as much fresher in the care of the museum and includes a new interior, paint, and tires five years ago. A non-original 3.4-liter Jaguar engine block, with the original DOHC cylinder head, resides under the bonnet. A handmade all-leather interior further enhances the appearance of this landmark Jaguar. Also included in the sale are a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, a new fabric top, a full tonneau cover, and a tool roll.
