Auction description:
1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster
Lot No 348
Registration Number: TBA Chassis Number: W6788-8

The example on offer here is a 1954 model which has recently undergone a comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic overhaul, which included a total engine rebuild with a new 020/020 thou crankshaft regrind, new inlet and exhaust valves and timing chain. In addition, a new clutch and pressure plate have been fitted, the carburettors have been fully rebuilt, the car has been comprehensively rewired, and the original suspension system has benefited from the addition of new Koni shock absorbers fitted to the rear of the car.

Cosmetically, the car has been equally pampered, recently undergoing a full rotisserie restoration in which it was stripped back to bare metal before being reassembled with new cadmium-dipped bolts and washers, before being completely repainted using genuine Dupont paint. All decorative items on the car were either re-chromed or replaced with parts from leading Jaguar specialist SNG Barratt of Shropshire.

Finished in an attractive black with a fully re-trimmed biscuit leather interior complemented by a new Moto-Lita wood rim steering wheel, the car is offered in excellent condition throughout and is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner. An excellent example of this beloved icon of classic British engineering.

•: Restored by Guy Broad to Broadsport specification

•: Absolutley superb condition throughout

This absolutely fantastic example of this iconic sportscar from the Jaguar factory is presented in ‘glass like’ black with tan leather interior. It is powered by the ubiquitous 3.4 litre six-cylinder engine which sounds fabulous. This car was the subject of a restoration carried out by Jaguar specialists Guy Broad to Broadsport specification. Its bonnet louvered with a leather strap to the front and it has the rather attractive extra lamps adorning the front and the car is finished off with gleaming chrome wire wheels. It comes with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate which indicates it went to Singapore at some point in its life but this is a matching number genuine right hand drive example, which is even mentioned in the Jaguar XK120 book by Andre Clausaerr as a special hood car (Golden Brown) originally. In the history file there is evidence of the car’s ongoing maintenance carried out by the present owner since he bought the car seven years ago. This is or must be as close as one gets to a concours example having won various awards for excellence and it looks stunning today – a truly great investment, a great drive and credit to any collection.
