This is a pristine 1954 Jaguar XK120 OTS Roadster with only 8,169
original and documented miles on the odometer. The car is finished
in her original color scheme of English White with a superb and
complementary Red leather interior with a Black Canvas convertible
top and Tornneau cover, Overall this car is stunning and will make
a coveted addition to any collectors garage.
This 1954 Jaguar XK120 OTS was among the last built and has a flat
steering hub and curved e-brake handle, unique to those last cars.
We have records from the mid-Eighties maintained by a long-term
owner who used it very sparingly and often recorded the mileage
when he did; he was not the original owner, as Jaguar Archives show
the original purchase by an Army major. In early 1993 he gave it to
his daughter as a wedding present, certifying 3,500 original miles
on the title. She sold it to the present owner in mid-2005 with
5,015 miles certified and the car has been driven approximately
3,000 miles in the last eleven years. As you would expect, the car
has always been properly prepared for storage periods.
This car is in excellent condition throughout, having been
conscientiously maintained - she has a very strong 3.4 litre engine
coupled to her 4 speed manual transmission and is a delight to
drive with excellent handling at all speeds. The metal, finish,
interior, engine bay and underside are in excellent condition. At
one point the long-term owner felt that a red underside would be an
attractive and unique change, so the body was removed and painted
accordingly. The present owner has updated that finish as necessary
(freshly repainted underside of the hood and of all body tub metal
in the interior, when it was replaced). The seats themselves as
well as upholstery have been replaced, as well as all surfaces
behind the seats and the liner of the trunk lid, by OSJI. The top
is new and has hung in the present owner's garage since purchase,
ensuring that it has no fold marks, creases or tears. The side
curtains are also new, and the full tonneau cover has the proper
leather fittings front and rear. All brightwork has been removed
and refinished and is in excellent condition. A custom cover is
lined in flannel.
Many engine components have been replaced as needed of course, and
an aluminum fuel tank has replaced the original. The front brakes
have been fitted with stainless steel sleeves and stainless steel
pistons and the new Avon radial tires have only a few thousand
miles on them. The same British auto specialist has maintained the
car for over 40 years.
Low, Curved and Exciting, the bodywork of the XK Series created a
sensation when announced in 1948. The engine - a six cylinder -
rivaled the big American V8's of the time. Jaguar was center stage
at the Winners Circle taking several Le Mans victories. More
expensive ($4,500 cost) than their British rivals, MG, Triumph,
Austin Healey and Lotus, the Jaguar sold very well due to style,
performance and on-track prowess. You can be sure that when taken
out for special occasions, this car will get more than her fair
share of attention.
