Vehicle Description
The Jaguar XK 120's name was derived from the initial aluminum
bodied car being able to achieve 120 miles per hour. The XK 120 was
available in three configurations; a (FHS)-Fixed Head Coupe,
(DHC)-Drophead Coupe and a (OTS)-Open Two-Seater. The example we
have available for sale is the Open Two-Seater.
This beautiful XK 120 is finished in what we believe to be an
original factory color, Pastel Blue, and accented with grey leather
interior.
Power for this XK 120 is provided by this number matching 3.4-liter
DOHC inline six-cylinder motor which is equipped with twin SU
carburetors and paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. Currently
the mileage indicated is 67,105 miles. The true mileage is
unknown.
The undercarriage is well detailed and clean of any apparent
corrosion with a structurally sound frame and clean floor pans.
This Jaguar has a new cloth top that has never been fitted to the
vehicle.
This XK 120 went through a comprehensive restoration from 2003-2005
apart from the motor. It has been driven very little since. It was
recommissioned in September of 2019 which included flushing the old
fluids, rebuilding the carburetors, a new clutch and brake
adjustments.
This Jaguar XK 120 starts crisply and idles smoothly from the
double overhead cam engine which is enhanced by a pleasant growl
from the exhaust. Whether you are using this car for vintage
rallies or just a pleasurable cruise this Jaguar is a great example
of this iconic English sports car.
