Seller's description:

Gallery Junction is excited to offer this very compelling vehicle. The 1950 Jaguar XK120 Roadster. Believed to be one of the the earliest steel body 1950 XK120 in the United States. Reportedly just the 22nd or so example imported to the US in 1950. The car offered here was restored by experts, Bassett Restorations of Boston, MA several years ago to exacting standards and the car has aged very well. The car exhibits all original seems, weld, panels, and stampings throughout. Its data plate and JDHT Heritage Certificate confirm it to be numbers matching. It comes with several awards from various concours and JCNA judged events, as well as the scoring sheets from said JCNA events. The closer one looks at this car the more obvious it becomes how well cared for it has been its entire life. The car runs and drives exactly as it should. It was the cover car for special interest auto's and had a very lovely article written about it. It comes from very long term Southern California ownership and was last shown at a JCNA event in about 2008. No longer quite the show car she once was, it represents a perfect opportunity to bring her back to that level as a XK120 this important is rarely seen.

Note: Until this sighting the car was reported to have been last seen in 1987 which coincides with the long term California ownership. Also Bassett's is in Wyoming, Rhode Island and do excellent work.

Seller's description:

Our stylish yet sporty steel-bodied XK120, chassis number ‘670241,’ was manufactured on April 26, 1950. This makes it one of the very early steel-bodied XK120s, as Jaguar only started producing the steel-bodied version on March 27, 1950. Adding to this XK120’s originality are the rare, full disc wheels that subtly disappear behind the rear ‘spats’ (closed wheel arches), enhancing the car’s clean lines. Paired with the iconic split windshield, the silver paint and full red leather interior create an exceptionally tasteful combination. It’s no surprise that, in the early 2000s, this car made the rounds at concours events, taking home several prestigious awards along the way! Today, this car still retains its matching numbers 3.4-liter straight-six engine and the legendary, indestructible Moss gearbox. The bodywork retains a beautifully aged patina and both the interior and exterior are in impeccable condition. It’s a car that is simply looks stunning, but it’s when you’re behind the wheel that you truly appreciate its purity. The suspension is flawless, completely free of any rattles or squeaks, and the Moss gearbox shifts as smoothly as butter.

This car is eager to take part in a variety of events, from concours to long-distance rallies, and is more than ready to deliver an exceptional performance wherever it goes. Now available at Rock 'N Roll Classics.
