Vehicle Description
Check out the beautiful body lines on this jet black Jaguar XK120
Roadster with gorgeous red leather interior, rolling on new chrome
wire wheels and wide whites, upgraded with
great options
for the ultimate driving experience and the original parts on the
side. This original black roadster is a
true work of art on 4 wheels and unlike most XKs this car is a true
pleasure to drive. It has a
mirror finish paint that is laid over a gorgeous Jaguar body with
incredible body lines and lots of newer chrome and stainless to set
off this black beauty. Most of the restoration was completed in the
late 90s and looks just as good as the day it was done.
According to the three previous owners this is a very low mileage,
well preserved, 52,600 mile car and this is one of the owners
favorite cars in the shop and
its will have a few miles before it is sold. This car came from the
factory as an extremely rare black and blue car. The entire
interior was replaced by lush red interior and is absolutely
stunning. The dash cockpit area has very nice crisp gauges. If you
have ever driven a XK120 you know that there is limited leg room.
This car has been upgraded with very nice Jaguar racing seats
or
choice of
original red
leather seats and slightly smaller Jaguar Motolita real wood
steering wheel and will drive comfortably with a 6 foot driver. The
original seats come with the car. The black top is new and was just
refurbished with power coated top assembly, new pads, rubbers and
brand new cloth top. Now for the best part. This British roadster
sports a healthy higher horsepower 220hp Jaguar 4.2 liter engine
topped off with twin HD-8 2 inch SU carbs. The original engine
comes on the side. The transmission gearbox is not nearly as whiny,
upgraded with a Jaguar T-5
5-speed transmission that shifts beautifully, with the original
transmission on the side. The car stops on a dime upgraded with MK9
Jaguar disc brakes with the original drum brakes on the side. The
undercarriage is exceptional with great metal structure including
frame, inner rocker and clean rebuilt suspension.
This Black Jaguar doesn't purr, it roars down the road with new
stainless exhaust. Rolling on brand new chrome wire wheels, new
wide white tires and major curb appeal.
