This 1952 Jaguar XK120 roadster was acquired by the seller in 1988 from its previous longterm owner in Nebraska and subsequently underwent a driver-level refurbishment the following year. The work included minor body repairs, a bare-metal repaint in red, a new top and upholstery, and a rebuild of the 3.4L inline-six with a later-style cylinder head as well as refreshment of the brakes and front suspension. Almost 30 years and approximately 5k miles have elapsed since its completion, during which time the car has reportedly been stored under cover indoors. This XK120 is offered with a set of side curtains and a clean South Dakota title in the seller's name.

Previously finished in grey, the car underwent metal work followed by a body-off repaint in its current 2-stage red approximately 30 years ago. The work included repairs of dents in the doors as well as a damaged area of the hood, though rust removal was reportedly unnecessary. The seller notes fading of the clear coat along with the cracking of filler in the hood. A number of bright pieces were rechromed during the refurbishment per the seller.

Painted steel wheels are fitted with polished hubcaps and wear radial tires that were installed in 1989 and should be replaced due to age. A set of full spats is fitted over the rear wheels, and brightwork has reportedly been re-chromed. A new tan soft top was sourced and a pair of original-style side curtains is also included in the sale, though no spare tire is available per the seller.

The interior was reupholstered in tan leather during the late-1980s work. A factory 4-spoke steering wheel is retained along with Smiths gauges, which were sent out for inspection and repair.

Approximately 85k miles are shown on the 5-digit odometer, 5k of which were added during the seller's 30-year ownership.

Power comes from a 3.4L inline-six mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. The engine was reportedly overhauled in 1989 with a later-style cylinder head rebuilt by Gran Turismo Jaguar of Ohio, along with new pistons, rings, bearings, a balanced flywheel, and recoated exhaust manifolds. The seller notes an oil and filter change in November 2017.

The brakes and front suspension are also said to have been refreshed at the time of the rebuild, records for which are unavailable.

This 1952 Jaguar XK120 roadster is powered by a 3.4-liter inline-six that was fitted with later-style cylinder heads during a refurbishment completed approximately 35 years ago. The car was refinished in its current shade of red at that time, and the cabin was reupholstered in Biscuit leather. Shifting is through a four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes dual SU carburetors, a Fawn convertible top, a split front windshield, chrome bumpers and bumperettes, 16″ steel wheels, hubcaps, bright trim rings, map pockets, and Smiths gauges. The car spent three decades with one caretaker before it was listed on BaT in June 2018, and it was purchased by the current owner during the subsequent year. Recent work under current ownership has included brake service, repairing the choke, re-jetting the carburetors, a valve job, and replacing the battery and freeze plugs. This XK120 roadster is now offered on dealer consignment with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, documentation, and a clean New Mexico title.

The car was finished from the factory in Suede Green, and it spent time with gray paintwork prior to being refinished in its current shade of red roughly 35 years ago. Exterior equipment includes a Fawn convertible top, a split front windshield, chrome front bumpers, chrome rear bumperettes, and a polished exhaust outlet. The rear window is cloudy.

The painted 16″ steel wheels have hubcaps and bright trim rings. The car was factory equipped with an independent front suspension with telescopic-type hydraulic shock absorbers as well as semi-elliptical rear leaf springs and Girling hydraulic rear shock absorbers. One of the front shocks was replaced within the last year. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drums, and the brake system is said to have been serviced in preparation for the sale.

Trimmed from the factory in Suede Green, the cabin has been reupholstered in Biscuit leather with color-coordinated carpeting. Amenities include door map pockets and a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror. A grab handle and a plaque are mounted on the right side of the dashboard.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer, a reverse-sweep 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 86k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six features dual SU carburetors and was factory rated at 160 horsepower. Later-style cylinder heads were fitted during an engine overhaul approximately 35 years ago, and work within the last year has included repairing the choke, re-jetting the carburetors, a valve job, and replacing the battery and freeze plugs. A low-flow exhaust system has been installed, and the seller recommends installing a higher-flow setup to reduce operating temperatures.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.

The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate lists production information, factory colors, and a build date of September 25, 1951.

A refurbishment book with photos and invoices for work completed under prior and current ownership accompanies the car.

The commission plate is shown above, and it lists the chassis number, the body number, and the engine and gearbox numbers. The engine number is listed as W 3753-8, and the car is titled in New Mexico under the number 37538.

Now offered for sale, Blue Chip is proud to present this 1952 Jaguar XK120 roadster as a testament to the history of high speed. After spending nearly three decades under one caretaker, this example has spent the last 5 years in the collection of a meticulous enthusiast and is now ready for a new owner. 

‍In 1989, this XK120 underwent a comprehensive driver-level refurbishment. The restoration included minor body repairs, a bare-metal repaint in a striking two-stage red, a new tan soft top and upholstery, and a thorough rebuild of the 3.4L inline-six engine with a later-style cylinder head. The brakes and front suspension were also refreshed to ensure optimal performance.

‍Over the past 35 years, this stunning Jaguar has covered approximately 6,000 miles and has been lovingly stored under cover indoors, preserving its fantastic condition. Originally finished in grey, the car's transformation included precise metal work followed by a meticulous body-off repaint. The restoration addressed dents in the doors and a damaged area of the hood, although rust removal was not necessary.

‍The roadster rides on painted steel wheels with polished hubcaps fitted with radial tires. The rear wheels are elegantly covered with full spats, and the brightwork has been re-chromed.

‍Inside, the cabin has been reupholstered in tan leather, maintaining its period-correct appeal. The factory 4-spoke steering wheel and Smiths gauges, which were inspected and repaired, add to the authenticity and charm of the interior. 

‍The heart of this Jaguar, a 3.4L inline-six engine paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, was also overhauled in 1989. The rebuild, performed by Gran Turismo Jaguar of Ohio, included a later-style cylinder head, new pistons, rings, bearings, a balanced flywheel, and recoated exhaust manifolds. An oil and filter change was completed in November 2017, ensuring the engine remains in excellent condition.

‍Now displaying 86,093 miles, this 1952 XK120 is available with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, a refurbishment book with photos and invoices of work, service manuals, a tool kit, and a spare tire.
