Sellers description:
1954 Jaguar XK 120 needing TOTAL restoration. Retoration was started many years ago but never finished. Many parts are missing or need to be replaced.

Chassis.
The chassis is in good condition with no sign's of damage or rust. I think the chassis was actually stripped painted and reassembled. All the suspension was re-fitted to the chassis along with the brake components. Brake lines have also been installed. Master cylinder is in one of the boxes.

Body.
The body is in rough shape, it will need new rockers on both sides along with shut face panels. Front and rear fenders are in average condition, thay all have some rust holes in the bottom of them and a few small dents. As you can see from the photos the whole car is covered in surface rust. You can see some rust holes in the front bulhead lower edges and the battery boxes. The rear body section is in good condition espcially where the rear fender meets the body. Doors and trunk lid have dents but still very useable. The bonnet is in good condition.

Interior.
The seats are in pretty rough condition. Top frame is rusty but useable. Gauges are missing along with the center dash panel. The side curtains are also missing.

Chrome
All the bumpers and brackets are complete along with rear tail light housings and front side lights. The headlights are not correct for the car.

Driveline
Engine is not original and is missing the cylinder head. Gearbox number matches the ID plate. The axle is already in the car.
