Ok folks, what we have here is a really cool Jag. First off, its
the last year of the XK120 which would then become the 140 in 1955.
Also, this is an all original car with the exception of a newer
exhaust system and newer front glass. Furthermore, this car has
remained with the same family since atleast the
mid-1970's....Atleast fifty years! We have quite a bit of service
history with receipts and registrations dating back to that time
along with many hand written notes to suppliers and repair shops.
The patina on the body is incredible and there would be no way I
would personally restore this car. The body # indicated on the cowl
tag is also found hand written on the inner side of the factory
rear wheel spats. The interior is 100% original and to be honest
shows years of enjoyment. There is no body rot on this car and the
underside looks like a 70 Year old original car still wtih the
factory leather wrapped rear wheel springs. The XK120 was the
fastest production car in the World! That is a strong
statement.
The first 242 cars were all Aluminum but after that the bodies were
steel but still retained Aluminum doors, rear deck lid and hood.
Mechanically this car starts, idles and goes down the road so
smoothly and very responsive. All of the exterior lights work, and
with the exceptiion of the RPM guage the guages are operational.
This would be an absolute killer car to do vintage touring in.
There are many extras like gaskets, hoses, bulbs and many other
assorted items along with manuals. We welcome any questions or
