This stunning XK 120, chassis 676091, was delivered new in 1954 to Frankly W. Taylor in California. After spending the majority of its life in the dry California climate, the Jaguar was then sold to Europe in 2010, where the new Italian owner sent it to Tappezzeria Maieli, near Mantova, to be re-trimmed in tan, with a matching hood, as well as have it serviced for essential maintenance. The consignor, an avid enthusiast with more than 30 cars to his collection, ensures that each is "on the button" and ready to be enjoyed at a moment's notice.

In its stunning black finish and complementary tan interior and hood, as well as desirable original wheel spats, this XK 120 roadster would make for a wonderful driver for any enthusiast looking to enjoy the thrill of open-air motoring in classic Jaguar style.
