Sellers description:
This example of a 1954 XK120 Drop Head Coupe will bring a smile to any face. The stylish lines and red/black color combo makes it a sure head-turner. Driving in this XK120 is nothing less than a pleasure, a perfect driver's car. The car has all records of maintenance since first brought to Muncie Imports and Classics. Engine is not a numbers-matching engine. All electronics work except for the fuel gauge. The tires have lots of tread. Many things recently replaced or refurbished.
Recent Service Work (Muncie Imports):
Stainless Steel Exhaust Installed
Alignment
Brake Master Cylinder Replaced
Front Brake Shoes relined
Four Front wheel cylinders sleeved and rebuilt
Castrol DOT 4 LMA Brake Fluid Change
Left and Right front lower ball joints replaced
Front wheel bearings repacked
New Start Carb Switch installed
Fuel System Flushed
Carbs overhauled
Tachometer Cable replaced
Engine Mount replaced
Clutch assembly replaced
Gearbox opened and inspected
New coolant hoses, coolant, and thermostat installed
Radiator cleaned and pressure tested, now mount pads installed
Fresh oil change and lube
New Carpet Installed
Engine/Drivetrain
The motor fires up on the first turn (see video). The transmission was opened and inspected at Muncie Imports and appears to have been rebuilt not long ago, new seals, etc.
Interior/Exterior
The red exterior on this XK120 has been restored in the past and is in great shape. No major dings or chips, only a slight ripple above the passenger rear brake light assembly. All chrome/stainless steel is in great shape. All body seals are in good condition. There is a fresh carpet set installed (see pictures) and the door cards also appear to be newer.

Now for sale at www.altenaclassicservice.nl/classics/12/291/jaguar-xk-120.html
Jaguar XK 120 Drop Head Coupe (DHC), year 1954. Chassis number 677583. Colour red with a black leather interior. Black soft top and hood cover.
This beautiful and pure, very original Jaguar XK 120 is in very good to excellent condition. The automobile was never restored. Through the years the car was perfectly maintained and given the needed attention. The XK was given new paint at some moment in time. This magnificent XK 120 was sold new to Mrs. Jane Law from Elyria, Ohio, USA. The automobile shows all original details including the disc wheels, 'spats' and steering wheel. The slight patina gives this XK 120 a beautiful charisma purists will admire. Mechanically everything is spot on, everything works and operates perfectly.
