Seller's description:

We are excited to offer this rotisserie restored 1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe finished in Bright Red over Biscuit Tan leather interior! Powered by it original, number's matching 3.4L DOHC Inline 6-cylinder engine and head, along with its 4-speed manual gearbox, it comes equipped with traditional "discs and spats" and complementing black wall tires for a superb presentation! The car received a full nut and bolt restoration that quickly earned seven JCNA Concours Driven Division wins and a 100-point score at the Palos Verdes Concours D'Elegance. It is a remarkable example with special attention to detail throughout.

The photo documented restoration shows a true, body-off rotisserie restoration to a superbly survived, rust free XK120 FHC. The Heritage Trust Certificate shows it sold from Hornburg Jaguar of Los Angeles when new and remained a lifelong resident of California, before heading to Massachusetts for restoration between 2006-2009. It was stripped to bare metal, sealed with red oxide primer, and repainted professionally by Fiber Tech in a terrific shade of red over all new tan interior (originally silver over red), giving it a road presence that is easy to admire from every angle! It has been fully rebuilt as necessary with comprehensive drivetrain service by KTR Motorsports, complete cloth-covered wiring harness, new suspension bushings along with Koni shocks, new Dunlop Roadspeed tires, exhaust system, and more. All chrome is in excellent condition as is the clear window glass.

It returned to California soon afterwards where it would achieve JCNA honors at the multiple events it attended. Mileage on the restoration is estimated at just under 2,000 miles, and it continues to start, run, and drive with tremendous ease! The odometer reading shows only 29,835 which are said to be original to the car. It would join Richard Stephen's Academy of Art University Collection in 2010 where it would remain professionally curated in San Francisco ever since. Just 1,356 LHD Coupes would be produced for 1952. If you have been looking for worthy Jaguar Fixed Head Coupe with certain show winner appeal, look no further! They are hard to find like this!
