1954 Jaguar XK120 Drop Head Coupe
This 1954 XK120 is one of only 1,750 produced between 1953 and 1954, and features the 3.4L twin overhead cam inline 6-cylinder engine linked to a 4-speed manual transmission. The dual side-draft carburetors have been rebuilt. Presented in red with a black top and interior, the walnut dashboard houses fabulous Smiths gauges, and matches the interior door caps. Chrome wire wheels are wrapped with 6x16-inch bias-ply Goodyear tires held in place by chrome knock-offs. Part of the Jim Ray collection since 2003, the Jaguar is believed to have covered only 50,000 miles since new.
