    Car offered at:
    bringatrailer.com/listing/1954-jaguar-xk-120-se/
    Current Bid: $19,540 Ends In: 5 days.

    Sellers description:
    This 1954 Jaguar XK120 is a late production Special Equipment roadster that retains its matching-numbers 3.4L inline-six and 4-speed manual gearbox. This example was reportedly sold by its original owner in 2007 after years of storage, then put back on the road and used by the second owner until his recent passing. Now consigned with the selling dealer by the late owner's family, the car is described as a largely stock, mostly solid driver that would make a good candidate for a rolling or concours-level restoration. It is sold with an original manual, partial records, and a clean Maryland title.

    Traces of original Cotswold Blue paint are evident under an older off-white repaint, which is said to show discoloration, checking, and large touch-ups. Painted knockoff wire wheels are mounted with Coker rubber from 2007. Period tri-bar headlights are joined by Special Equipment fog lamps, which are currently disconnected and include a cracked right-side lens.

    Blistering is shown beneath the chrome on the split windshield frame, which also has failed rubber seals. Glass is delaminated at the edges and is chipped on the driver's side. A set of side curtains is included along with what is thought to be the original canvas top, which shows patches and aging but is described as usable.

    Black vinyl upholstery was installed at some point prior to current ownership. Carpeting is discolored and worn through under the floor mat in the driver's footwell. Controls include a factory four-spoke steering wheel, while switchgear is described as a mix of factory and non-stock items, including the horn button and T-handle hood release. Smiths gauges include a currently inoperative reverse-sweep tachometer and a fuel gauge that always reads full. The 5-digit odometer shows just over 42k miles and is assumed inaccurate by the seller.

    The numbers-matching powertrain includes a 3.4L twin-cam six and a 4-speed manual transmission. Induction is from twin SU carburetors and exhaust is via dual pipes through a patched muffler. The engine is said to start quickly and run well, and a photo is provided to show oil pressure and temperature readouts at warm idle. The engine bay has been painted black rather than body color as from the factory.

    A Special Equipment car is denoted by an S preceding the chassis number. Stamps on the cylinder head, engine block, and cowl tag all match the firewall identification plate as seen in the photos below. The seller has reportedly verified the matching gearbox number with a mirror but has been unable to take a usable photo.

    This example was reportedly used to attend the 2007 and 2008 British Invasion events in Vermont, which involved round trips of nearly 600 miles each time. It is said to remain generally roadworthy aside from perished front sway bar bushings and a leaky right front wheel cylinder that causes the brakes to pull left.

    Underbody photos are provided to show the condition of the drivetrain, suspension, rockers, and plywood floor panels. Varying levels of corrosion are detailed in the side vent boxes, floor support panels, and front valance, including some areas of rust-through. The right side battery box has been enlarged to fit a group 24 battery.

    The original owner's handbook features handwritten notes including identifying numbers and specifications. A handwritten maintenance log is also included along with other paperwork, while further service records are largely unavailable. A matching spare wire wheel with Coker tire and jacking tools are present in the rear storage compartment.

    Auction description:
    ESTIMATE €75,000- €90,000
    Auction Techno Classica Essen 2018

    Reg. Number EU Taxes Paid
    Chassis Number S-675055

    Make Jaguar
    Model XK120 OTS

    This wonderful XK120 SE OTS still retains not only its original inline-six 3.4 litre engine but also its 4-speed manual gearbox. As a Special Equipment example, the car received several trim and performance upgrades over the standard XK120, which included increased power output, higher lift camshafts, stiffer suspension and a dual exhaust system.

    Sold with an original owner's manual and period tri-bar headlights which are joined by Special Equipment fog lamps, the engine is said to start quickly and run well. This example was reportedly used to attend the 2007 and 2008 British Invasion events in Vermont, which involved round trips of nearly 600 miles each time. Recently fitted with new brake lines, brake pads, cylinders and brand new canopy.

    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
