1953 Jaguar XK 120M Roadster
Single Ownership for the Last 17 Years
160hp 3,442cc twin overhead cam inline six-cylinder engine with four-speed transmission and torsion bar independent front suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Wheelbase: 96"
This stunning example comes to auction from a very meticulous Jaguar enthusiast who has had several Jaguars over the years. Most impressively, this 1953 XK 120 Roadster has remained in its gentleman owner’s collection for the past 17 years. Although in beautiful condition when purchased, the enthusiast owner was not satisfied until it was perfect. The vendor undertook a complete restoration including complete disassembly and stripping to the bare metal and the vehicle was found to have absolutely no rust. The XK 120 was then subsequently completely refinished to concours standards.
The interior is completely new including trunk, using correct black Connoly hides, Wilton carpets and correct lining and sound deadening materials. The roadster was treated to a new top, side screens and tonneau cover using premium English double duck pure cotton material.
Mechanically the car has been completely serviced and rebuilt as necessary, including engine disassembly with some of the rebuilding including new cylinder heads, cam shafts as well as several other major mechanical components ensuring its proper and expected operating condition.
This Jaguar is understood to run, drive and perform beautifully. The owner reports that absolutely no fillers were used in place of metalwork. This is a superb example of Jaguar’s XK 120 and will undoubtedly be a pleasure to own for many years to come as it has been for its current long time owner.
