Seller's description:

Jaguar XK120 OTS LHD 1953 - SOLD

Chassis no: 673579

Registration no: 723 UXF

This Jaguar XK120 open two seater (roadster) was originally shipped to the U.S.A. and sold by Hoffman or New York. The car appears to have been returned to the UK in the early 2000's and has since been extensively upgraded.

This is a nicely presented XK finished in Gun Metal paint with red interior. On its original steel wheels and spats the car retains a charming 1950's look. Underneath the car has many upgrades to improve the driving experience including a five speed gearbox, front disc brakes, alternator, electric cooling fan, polyurethane suspension bushes and bucket backed seats.
