Auction description:
Lot No. 4152
Auctioned on Saturday, May 10, 2014

"Barn Find" from the State of Georgia
Sold for $ 45,100
The example offered here is a very desirable "barn find" Jaguar XK 120SE (Special Equipment) that has been stored in a Georgian barn since the 1970s. The XK 120SE is equipped with factory steel wheels in body color, an upgraded suspension, dual exhaust pipes, and a high performance engine and carburetors. The XK is finished in factory correct Jaguar Red and its interior is dark brown. Additional equipment includes rollup windows, burl wood dash and rear fender spats. The car indicates that is has just over 60,000 original miles. The car has layers of dust and dirt intact, but the car has been gone through mechanically and it runs and drives. The Jaguar is ready for a new home and the glory that can return to this magnificent car.

Lot 247
1953 JAGUAR XK120 DROPHEAD COUPE
Chassis no. S677295
Engine no. 1776-9

Without reserve
US$ 50,000 - 75,000
£29,000 - 44,000
Completed at the Jaguar works in May 1953, this Special Equipment XK120 Drophead Coupe was delivered new through Hoffman Motor Car Company in New York, New York, to its first owner. The car was finished in the classic British Racing Green, and fitted with a tan interior and a black convertible top.

The XK120's early history remains unknown, but at some point it was stored in Georgia, where it remained until recently. It should be noted that, although the cylinder head number does match, the engine block number does not match the factory records, and therefore appears to have been replaced at some point. Now presenting as an older, charming barn-find, this car is an ideal candidate for a full restoration.
