Spent about 1.5 hours looking at the car. Nice paint but left door sag, old original wiring, pistons slap when cold, tappet noise when hot probably original unrebuilt non matching motor, alot of oil under car. Biggest concern was motor and probable need for rebuit in the near future. Mike Mueller

FULLY DOCUMENTED 1952 JAGUAR XK120 "M" LEFT HAND DRIVE FIXED HEAD COUPE

CHASSIS# 679414

IN STUNNING CONDITION!!!

This exquisite XK120M fixed head coupe is Certified to be an exact replica of the record breaking car which achieved the speed of 132.6 MPH at Jabbeke, Belgium on May 30th 1949 and is finished in the famous livery of the Jaguar which was also driven for 7 consecutive days (7 days & 7 nights) at an average speed of over 100 MPH by a team of four drivers headed by Sterling Moss to set a new production sports car speed record at Montlhery, France.

This vehicle was certified by the Chief Engineer himself at Jaguar Cars LTD., Coventry England and the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust. This vehicle is also a Registered Certified Milestone Car in addition to the many other association and event recognitions displayed on the vehicle.

Some of the unique features of this XK120M include racing style bucket seats, exterior mounted racing style quick fill fuel cap, louvered hood, leather bonnet strap, meshed headlights, 4-Speed Manual Transmission, genuine wood trim, racing seatbelts, and "special equipment" 120M type cylinder head.

The exterior is finished in a smooth and glossy British Racing Green that is complemented with a super clean and fresh black Interior. The exterior is in excellent condition and the interior is also in excellent condition. This combination is a very desirable combination!

The look is unmistakably Jaguar, the sleek contours and classic styling of this vehicle are definitely an eye pleaser. This vintage Jaguar looks, runs and drive absolutely great. There are many classic vehicles out there but if you are looking for a rare, fully documented exotic British masterpiece that will perform as good as it looks then this is the one!

The engine is a responsive and powerful 31/2 Liter (3,441 cc) Twin Overhead Camshaft SU Carburetors Inline 6-Cylinder engine that is mated to a four-speed manual Transmission. This beautiful Jaguar looks, runs and drives great; you are more than welcome to have a certified mechanic check it out.

The most recent upkeep done to this vehicle to maintain it's pristine condition was an all new set of brakes, new master cylinder, new spark plugs, new correct and complete exhaust system from front to back and a full fluid service (receipts included).
