The Jaguar XK120 was manufactured between
1948 and 1954 and was Jaguar's first post-war sports car succeeding
the SS100 which ceased production in 1940. It was launched in
roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a test bed and show
car for the new Jaguar XK engine and caused a sensation and
persuading William Lyons to put it into production.
The '120' name referred to its top
speed which made it the world's fastest standard production car at
the time of its launch. It was available in two convertible
versions; first as the roadster then also as a drophead coupé from
1953 and as a closed. or 'fixedhead' coupé. from 1951. The iconic
shape of the Jaguar XK120 roadster sustains the car's constant
appreciation by classic car enthusiasts. They are eminently usable
motorcars and understandably much coveted. Extremely robust. br/>wonderfully reliable. and infinitely eye-catching; they are. br/>understandably. one of the most collectable motorcars available
today.

Manufactured on 24th November. 1953 and dispatched to the
Jaguar dealer in Los Angeles. the car came back across the Atlantic
in 2003 in need of restoration. The body was removed and the car
totally rebuilt mechanically including the fitment of a five-speed
gearbox. disc brakes all-round and an electric cooling fan. The
body was then restored to a high standard and the interior
re-trimmed using top quality leather. The net result of this
substantial investment is a Jaguar that can be used regularly and
one that will enjoy being driven with alacrity. as confirmed by our
enjoyable road test. Supplied with a Jaguar Heritage
Certificate and V5 registration document. it is altogether a fast. br/>handsome and well-sorted motorcar with entirely thoughtful
improvements to vastly enhance the overall driving
experience.
