This 1953 Jaguar XK120 SE roadster is a non-running project that was first distributed by Hornberg of Los Angeles, California, and was purchased by its second owner in 1962. It was last registered in 1977 and was purchased by the seller in 2020. The car is finished in Pastel Green over a Suede Green leather interior and is equipped with a 3.4L twin-cam inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. This XK120 project is now offered with a white hardtop, a tan soft top, two sets of side curtains, a tool roll and jack, a collection of spare parts, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The body was delivered from the factory in Pastel Green and shows areas of scratches, dents, and paint loss. Primer is noted on the right-front fender and below the rear license plate. California black plates wearing April 1977 registration stickers are fitted, and a CB radio antenna base is mounted on the left-rear bumperette. Corrosion is noted in the wheel wells and on the frame.

A Plasticon fiberglass hardtop finished in white is included in the sale, along with a tan soft top and two sets of side curtains. The 16″ wire wheels feature knock-off hubs and are wrapped in older Allstate Century 21 bias-ply tires that have cracked sidewalls. A spare rim is mounted beneath the trunk floor.

The interior was trimmed in Moss Green leather with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets from the factory. Upholstery has shrunk and cracked on the seats, and the carpets are stained and loose.

The four-spoke steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a reverse-sweep tachometer with an integrated clock, a 140-mph speedometer, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, amperage, and fuel level. An aircraft-style manifold pressure gauge has been added. Just over 25k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer, with total mileage unknown.

The 3.4L twin-cam inline-six features dual overhead camshafts and retains twin SU carburetors. No attempt has been made to start the engine during the seller’s ownership.

A collection of spare parts are included in the sale along with the tool roll and jack. The August 2020 Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate lists the date of manufacture, component numbers, and colors.
