1954 Jaguar XK 120SE comes from a family owned labor of love
between a grandfather, a father and his two sons. The body-off
restoration of this beautiful Jaguar started back in 2009 and it
was completed in 2011. It was a very solid car to start with when
it was purchased back in 1978 in the state of Iowa. It was brought
back to Indiana where it resides now. As you can see from the
restoration pictures to current day, this XK 120SE has been
restored with the utmost attention to detail and originality. The
owner has accumulated well over $55,000.00 in parts (mainly ordered
from SNG Barratt) and also in body and paint work. There's a very
long list, but just about everything on the car is new or the
original part has been reconditioned. The 3.4 liter, DOHC straight
six cylinder engine has never been rebuilt and is showing 48,591
original miles. It runs beautifully with no issues. The 4 speed
manual transmission and the rear end both have been professional
rebuilt to factory specs by Pettitt Professional Auto in Ohio. The
suspension has been completely gone through with all new parts. The
shocks are new as well. Electrically, all the original gauges have
been beautifully restored to near perfection. The wiring harness
has also been replaced with new. The generator has been rebuilt
along with an upgraded new starter. All brake lines and fuel lines
are new. Driveshaft and U-Joints are also new. The manual steering
is nice and tight because the gearbox was completely rebuilt. The
Dayton wheels are new along with all wheel cylinders and associated
brake parts. The tires are relatively new with only 3,000 miles on
them. The red interior leather and the beautiful red carpeting are
all new from SNG Barratt. The exhaust is new stainless steel and it
sounds very nice. The engine bay is highly detailed back to a new
and original appearance which also includes a new aluminum
radiator. The 10 year old paint finish of the original Jaguar Cream
