With a professional restoration meticulously finished in 2012, this
1954 Jaguar XK120 Drop Head convertible is truly a sight to behold.
The XK120 was the fastest production car of its day and was a
strong competitor on race day winning a few 24-hour endurance races
including Mt. Druitt in Australia back in 1954. The "120"
represented the top speed right from the factory. This XK120 is in
excellent shape and has had a few minor upgrades bringing it up to
date and making it an excellent driver's car including converting
the electrical system to 12 volt from 6 volt, an electronic
ignition, electric fan for optimal cooling, and a tremec 5-speed
manual transmission adding synchros in all gears and an overdrive
gear. These upgrades do not take away from the original looks of
the car but increase the drivability dramatically. Redone just this
last year in 2017 included the top end of the engine rebuilt with
new valve seats for pump gas, rebuilt SU carburetors, rebuilt brake
cylinders on all corners, new plugs and wires installed, and in
2018 the interior was reupholstered, and the paint was ceramic
coated for ease of cleaning. This Jaguar is a stunning car both to
drive and admire and would make the perfect addition to a
collection or dream car for a Jaguar enthusiast. This vehicle is
located in our Denver showroom. You can view this 1954 Jaguar XK120
