Description:

Here is a very attractive XK120 M Roadster very suitable for enjoyable weekend driving or vintage rallies and tours. It is fitted with an SE ("Special Equipment", or "M" in the United States) cylinder head that develops 180 bhp at 5300 rpm versus the XK's standard 160 at 5500. Finished in white with beige leather and fitted with chromed wire wheels, it was acquired by Seattle-area auto dealer and former amateur racing driver Wade Carter around 1990, by which time it had accrued approximately 91,000 miles. A folio of documents and receipts shows that Mr. Carter had extensive mechanical and cosmetic work done completed in the early 1990s, including an engine and suspension overhaul, much of that work undertaken by Steve Connor of Duvall, Washington. The seats were rebuilt and re-covered, and an electric cooling fan installed. This very pretty Jaguar has remained with the Carter collection after the owner's passing. Described as being in good driving condition, it has just been serviced by J&L Fabrication of Seattle, a well-known vintage racing shop and is ready to enjoy.
