1953 Jaguar XK 120 A Nice, Easy, Project

 *** This 1953 XK 120 Roadster Is Located In Villanova. PA. 19085. about 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia. PA *** Not in Lumberton. NJ ***   I am listing this Jaguar for my good friend. along with his 1950 XK 120 roadster (similar story).

 Unless you are buying a car that recently received 1st place at Pebble Beach. every car is a "project"

Also. please understand. this is a great  XK 120 Roadster for the end user. I am not looking to wholesale it. I do not have any $35K or $40K XK 120 / 140 projects. needing everything. nbsp;at this time. but possibly one this April.

 Here is a 1953 XK 120 roadster needing some TLC from sitting.  With a few. nbsp;little. issues that someone with minimal skill can easily sort out. There are a lot of new parts on this XK120 and much money has been spent. This XK120 was stored immediately (about 6 years ago). after being completely serviced. nbsp;rebuilt carburetors. a new wire harness. brake system overhaul. suspension work. chrome wire wheels. tires. a complete new interior. top and boot. nbsp;along with many other new parts. On an original. straight. factory. car! 

 She started right up. from my jump box. nbsp;on the old fuel.  She runs quiet with no bad engine noises. The front carburetor is now leaking out of the overflow. I have a replacement float or it might be the needle and seat? 

 An extremely solid. XK 120 with no major restoration needed. Again. a straight. nbsp;true car.   She still retains the leather gaiters on the rear leaf springs. Mostly needing TLC from sitting and a few minor fixes: incorrect clamps. screws. exhaust. a couple of other little things incorrect or missing. No tools or jack are present.  

 This XK120 Jaguar is a very presentable driver as is. the chrome is a little weak. but the paint will easily polish up much nicer. Drive her as she is while you make her better.

 *** The engine block and cylinder head number (XK120 "W") match. *** But Do Not Match The Data Plate *** (the engine in the car now is 823 engine numbers later than the data plate engine #)  Factory Replacement? I don't really care but: 

" Anders Ditlev Clausager at Jaguar Heritage.   Anders confirms It was normal in the fifties for the Jaguar works service department to re-condition broken engines taken from customers cars and re-fit them as replacement units in other cars. "

 The engine number is the VIN on the Pennsylvania title and will be sold as such.  This may be a problem for international buyers? 

 Please call Joe *** 609 - 518 - 0878 I will send more pictures if I get your direct e-mail address ***    

 Again. this car is located in Villanova. PA. 19085 and I welcome your inspection. A $1000 deposit is required within 24 hours at the end of the auction (PayPal). The balance of the funds by a wire transfer directly to the owner. All funds must clear prior to pick-up. I will assist with shipping but the buyer is responsible for pickup and all related cost. Sold as is where is.
