SALE PENDING to Atlanta, GA!! This is a true survivor! This is a
rust-free very original 1952 Jaguar XK120 SE/M OTS roadster that is
a fantastic tour car with unbelievable performance. The last owner
was Don Schell, a well known car collector in Camp Hill, PA. He
enjoyed the car for the past 21 years, having bought it with 7,000
miles on the odometer at Hershey in 1998. It is now showing 20,000
miles. This XK120 has the "S" designation which according to all
sources means a higher lift cam and special equipment, including
the icon wire wheels. The S or SE stood for Special Equipment and
in the US is sometimes referred to as M for modified. The higher
lift cam is said to increase the output by 20 hp. This example has
a later 3.8 liter engine installed, engine number LA 4129-9. This
car has been enjoyed in good weather most of its life, because it
is free of rust. It had been repainted in the original red paint
decades ago and remains in touring quality condition today. Since
under our stewardship, we've rubbed out the paint and had many of
the small dents removed, mainly from the aluminum. The doors, trunk
(boot) and hood (bonnet) are all crafted from aluminum. The paint
overall looks very nice for touring, but up close there are several
areas where there is some cracking and other blemishes. But it
looks sharp! We've run out bondo detector and there was no filler
detected throughout the car. It is really a rust free example.
There is light cracking, mainly around where the front driving
lights are on top of the fender. This is typically from where the
lead was used to add the light housing on top of the fender. The
interior and dash are in very nice condition. The seats are very
comfortable and are finished in black vinyl. The carpet is also in
excellent condition. The wire wheels and tires are in excellent
shape and run down the highway very well. The jack and hammer,
along with the spare wheel and shop manuals, are in the truck. The
trunk is also free of rust and looks great. The Jag comes with a
car cover as well. The engine fires right up, warm or cold. And it
sounds fantastic. It has an amazing throaty growl that you expect
from a healthy Jaguar. All of the gauges, except the clock, work as
they should. The oil pressure is excellent and it has an auxiliary
fan installed for use on warm days. This car is meant for the open
road, because its performance is rather amazing. It comes with a
very nice newer convertible top and excellent (likely never used)
side curtains. This is a true survivor. It is available for
inspection or viewing at our Phoenix showroom. For more details,
