Offering unbeatable looks and performance to match, the XK 120 was a true landmark for Jaguar, establishing its reputation for crafting some of the best all-purpose sports cars. Examples like this demonstrate why, over 70 years after its debut, interest in the model has not waned.
After proving itself on race and endurance courses worldwide, the XK engine would become the mainstay of all future Jaguar products over the next six decades. The 160-horsepower 3.4-liter inline-six-cylinder engine was standard for the XK 120; also available was the 180-horsepower XK 120 SE (“Special Equipment”) specification. In addition to a C-Type cylinder head, the SE was fitted with wire wheels, upgraded suspension, and dual exhaust.
The magnificent 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE roadster featured here is finished in gorgeous British Racing Green over a tan leather interior and matching convertible top. This exquisite motorcar has been subject to a show quality restoration and still retains its original matching numbers engine. Equipped from the factory with the special equipment package, including high compression C-type head J dual exhaust, chrome wire wheels, and upgraded suspension. Just acquired from a prominent collection where it was beautifully restored and properly stored in a climate control facility, seldom does one come across an XK120 SE that’s been restored to this level. We are proud to offer this investment-grade Jaguar XK-120 SE roadster to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the best!!
