This 1953 Jaguar XK120 is a left-hand drive Drophead Coupe that is said to have been refurbished in England in the 1980s before it was acquired by the current owner in the early 2000s. The car is finished in light blue with a blue soft top and a darker leather interior, and power comes from a 3.4-liter inline-six paired with a replacement five-speed manual transmission. An aluminum radiator and electric cooling fan are also fitted, while replacement wood dash veneers and leather-wrapped leaf springs were installed in 2019. This XK120 DHC is now offered on behalf of the current owner with a Moss four-speed manual gearbox, recent service records, and a clean California title in the name of the owner’s trust.

The car is said to have received bodywork and a repaint in its current light blue during the 1980s refurbishment. XK120 DHCs feature an integrated windshield frame, roll-up side windows, exterior door handles, and an insulated convertible top with a plastic rear window. The soft top was re-dyed blue by Oakmount Automotive of Santa Rosa, California, in April 2018. Areas of paint loss noted underneath the hood and rear wheel wells can be seen up close in the gallery.

Chrome 16″ wire wheels feature two-ear knock-off hubs and are mounted with Michelin X radial tires. A matching spare wheel with older Dunlop rubber is mounted below the trunk floor.

The cockpit features seating trimmed in blue leather with matching door panels and blue carpets. Simpson lap belts are fitted along with Jaguar-branded floor mats. The starter button switch was repaired in May 2018, and a replacement wood veneer dashboard was reportedly fitted in 2019. The interior dome light is inoperable, and patches are noted on the headliner.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation including a reverse-sweep tachometer with a 5,200-rpm redline and an inset clock, a 140-mph speedometer, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, amperage, and fuel level. Just over 29k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer, approximately 10k of which were added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The clock does not work, and scratches are noted on the steering column adjustment nut.

The 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six features twin SU H6 carburetors and was factory rated at 160 horsepower. An aluminum radiator and electric cooling fan were fitted during current ownership, and the thermostat was replaced in May 2019.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission that was fitted during the 2010s. Leather-wrapped leaf springs were reportedly installed in 2019. A Moss four-speed manual gearbox is included in the sale.
