Absolutely stunning example of the 1954 Jaguar XK120 Drop Head Coupe. Beautiful black paint with stunningly finished red leather interior. The Wood dash is flawless. Rich flowing lines that only the Jaguar XK's offer. This car is in extraordinary condition. She looks like she just rolled out of the showroom yesterday. The car comes with the Heritage Certificate of Authenticity, verifying that the Chassis Engine Body Gearbox and Transmission are all numbers matching. The car came from a private owner who has owned a number of Jaguar XK's over the years, he is also a collector of 356's Porsches. She was maintained by Roger Worthington a man from northern Maryland who restored a different Jaguar XK120 to a 100 point car which placed second in the nation, this year they are confident that it will place first. The car was purchased from a Mercedes Benz parts guy from Frederick Md. The man was a Princeton Alum who only drove it a total of 500 miles to and from Princeton Alumni Events. Before that it was believed to be owned by a woman in Georgetown DC, and was likely sold new by Jack Pry the only Jaguar, Mercedes, and Aston Martin dealer in the area at the time. She has new Stainless Steel exhaust. Wonderful Tripod P100 Lucas Driving lights. Also an extremely rare find is the two pieces of original Jaguar fitted luggage in the trunk. The price is exceptionally fair for what this vehicle represents, a true piece of automotive history.

Price: $109,900

Auction description:

1954 Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe

Scottsdale Auction

ESTIMATE: $120,000 - $150,000

CHASSIS NO: 678058

• Accompanied by Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate

• Retains numbers matching engine and transmission

• Orignal color combination and well-fitted soft top

• Restored original instruments; sleekly spatted rear wheels

• Features include period-correct fitted luggage

• Strong performer, ready to drive, tour, and enjoy

• Final-year example of Britain’s definitive postwar sports car

According to this car’s Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, this highly desirable drophead coupe is presented just as it left the Coventry shops back in 1954. Finished in a deep reflective black, it is fitted with soft and supple red leather seats with matching door panels and thick carpets. In the event of foul weather, the black top appears to be new, fitting snug and properly to protect its occupants while complementing the rest of the interior with its insulated tan liner. Though restored a few years back, the elegance of this design presents very well and would be a welcomed event at a marque-specific show, rally or tour, and could also be that star of a local or regional meeting of fine motorcars. Body panels are smooth and aligned at or above factory specs with perfect gaps for all openings. Under that long graceful bonnet, the highly detailed DOHC powerplant awaits your inspection. Look closely and you will find that this car still possesses its original engine with proper parts including the dual SU carburetors, as well as the numbers matching transmission and other major components.

The large steering wheel has been refinished and is complete down to the golden Jaguar logo, inviting you to take control and command the road in one of the most comfortable sporting cars ever produced. All the original gauges have been restored and are very easy to read and quite well-presented in the original dash panel trimmed with beautiful burled walnut veneer. Best of all, the gauges work just as they were intended, something that our consignor insists upon from all his vehicles. Wearing a fresh set of Dunlop tires, the steel wheels are properly presented with original hubcaps and bright metal trim rings that lend to the overall appearance of understated elegance. Original fender shields, or “spats” are bolted into place and the luggage compartment comes complete with period-correct vintage luggage.

When Jaguar marketed the XK120, the claim was that these cars were all capable of 120 miles-per-hour performance. With proper precautions, the consignor says that he feels this example would easily meet and surpass the two-mile-a-minute mark and have a bit more to give to the next owner of this sporting icon.
