1953 JAGUAR XK120 DROPHEAD COUPE FOR SALE for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 60 votes
The car is an amazing matching numbers, immaculate nut and bolt newly restored Jaguar XK120 DHC classic car. Perfect for the summer and price now reduced significantly to facilitate quick sale. An absolute bargain for the money!Fitted with a new Guy Broad five-speed gearbox (For those in the know... this is the best gearbox money can buy). The car has benefitted from a complete engine rebuild by the renowned Jaguar specialist, The Splined Hub who have also maintained it over the last 3 years. The Jaguar is in beautiful condition and in need of no work whatsoever. A left hand drive export model '388 UYY' was sold new in 1953 via the company's Los Angeles distributor Hornburg. As now, it was finished in Dove Grey complemented by Tan-coloured interior trim. It completed a modest amount of racing in Arizona in the `70s, the area it spent most of its life until being shipped to Germany in 1990, where it was stored in a container awaiting a renovation that was never completed. Fast forward to 2015 when it was acquired by a classic car company who sold it to the previous vendor a year later, following which he instigated a full body-off restoration, during which no corrosion was encountered. The refurbishment involved: a total bare-metal respray; full retrim, including dashboard and carpets; replacement hood; fresh chrome bumpers and grill; and new Guy Broad five-speed gearbox, wire wheels and tyres. The total of the parts alone was over £24, 000 and the current vendor has spent a further £15, 000 to bring the car up to scratch for touring, Goodwood and various classic car rallies. The Jaguar is stored in an air conditioned garage and used regularly. It is offered with a collection of invoices and complete with Heritage certificate and V5C document.This car will be missed enormously but house move and lack of storage forces sale.
