Pebble Beach 2016

1954 Jaguar XK120 SE Roadster

Estimate: $140,000 - $180,000 | Without Reserve

Chassis: S674322

Engine: F1093-8

Lot 046 Pebble Beach 2016

This particular XK120 SE was dispatched to the Hornburg dealership in Los Angeles in 1954, and much of its early history is unknown. It was the recipient of an impressive restoration in the mid-1990s that still presents very well. Originally green, Chassis S674322 was refinished in vibrant Signal Red matched to a black leather interior. After restoration, the car was sold to the consignor, a prominent California collector, in 1997.

This Jaguar benefits from a few well-documented practical upgrades that improve performance and driveability without disturbing its character. The original four-speed transmission was replaced with a five-speed unit, while the original front drum brakes were changed over to discs. A high-torque starter was also fitted. The original transmission and front brakes are included with the car. As an SE model, the engine sports the high-performance cylinder head, which increased output from the standard 160 hp to 210 hp.

An opportunity not to be missed, this handsome XK120 SE Roadster presents the best of both worlds: a Jaguar with all the style and grace of a stock XK that can thrill passengers on the open road.

SOLD $121,000

This XK120 SE was dispatched to Charles Hornburg’s dealership in Los Angeles in 1954, and much of its early history is unknown. It was the recipient of an impressive restoration in the mid-1990s that continues to present very well. Originally green, chassis S674322 was refinished in Signal Red with a black leather interior. In 1997, the XK120 was sold to prominent Southern California collector Peter McCoy before joining the consignor’s respected automotive stable in 2016.

This Jaguar benefits from well-documented upgrades that improve performance and driveability without disturbing its character. The four-speed gearbox was replaced with a five-speed unit, while the original front drum brakes were changed to discs. A high-torque starter was also fitted. The Jaguar’s original gearbox and front brakes are included with the car. As an SE model, the engine sports the high-performance cylinder head, which increased output not insignificantly from the model’s standard 160 hp to 180 hp.

This handsome XK120 SE Roadster offers the best of both worlds: a thoughtfully upgraded classic Jaguar with all the style and beauty of a stock XK.
