1952 Jaguar XK120 FHC
Chassis No. 679632
Engine No. W4759-8
Body No. J1636

Recently acquired from a long term ownership, this example is one of the nicest Fixed Head Coupes around. The Previous owner purchased the XK in 1989 from a gentleman who had stored it in his garage, un-driven, for several years. The XK once again sat covered in a garage untouched for 20 years. It wasn’t until the two years ago when the owner started a full nut-and-bolt restoration of the XK.

The restoration began with a full disassembly of the car. The chassis was stripped, sandblasted, and repainted to a deep black gloss finish. The entire body was then chemically dipped in an acid bath to remove all traces of rust, debris, and old paint; and repainted back to white. All wiring and hoses have been replaced with new factory correct looms. The engine and gearbox were rebuilt and refinished back to factory specifications. The entire interior has been restored as well; including: new leather seats and door panels, carpeting, headliner, chrome, steering wheel, restored gauges, and the beautifully refinished burl wood trim! The final assembly of the XK was completed by the world famous Jaguar restoration experts, Jeff’s Resurrections in Texas. Over $10,000.00 was spent to bring this beauty back to road worthy condition!

* A beautiful XK120 FHC in excellent colors!
* Very presentable as a driver or show car!
* Recent major service with over $10,000.00 in invoices!
* Includes original service manual, and all restoration receipts!

From the First Full Year of Fixed-Head Coupé Production Beautifully Finished and Appointed Inside and Out Mechanically Fully-Sorted Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate

Engine No: W4759-8
Gearbox No: JL10613
Body No: J1636

Finished in Old English White over a red Connolly leather interior, the early-production, Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate documented 1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixed-Head Coupe offered here was acquired out of long-term ownership by the current vendor. Prior to his acquisition, the car's last owner purchased it in 1989 from a gentleman who had stored it in his garage, unused, for several years, and it then sat covered in yet another garage, similarly untouched, for a further two decades. Within the last two years, this fine survivor-quality specimen received a comprehensive bare metal restoration that was lovingly undertaken by Jaguar marque specialists. In the course of restoration, the mechanicals were not untouched, as both the car's 3.4 litre engine and four-speed manual gear box were comprehensively rebuilt, the entire wiring loom replaced and the instruments were restored and refinished as needed. Additionally, the car's sumptuously-appointed interior was completely redone, to include the leather seats, headliner, wood instrument panel, carpets, brightwork, upholstered door panel cards, and steering wheel. On the outside, painted wire wheels with correct Dunlop RS tires add to the sporting character of this special car.

In short, it needs absolutely nothing to be enjoyed. Hence, this superb testament to British motoring is ready for years and thousands of miles of carefree motoring and display.

1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixed-Head Coupe
Chassis no. 679632
Engine no. W4759-8
The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate that accompanies the car confirms this XK120 was completed on April 21, 1952 and was dispatched to Charles Hornburg, the Los Angeles distributor, on June 7 that same year. The original color scheme was Birch Grey with red upholstery and it was equipped with the 3.4-liter version of Jaguar's legendary XK motor - the numbers match with the engine currently fitted to the car. The vendor reports that this very nice example had previously been dry stored for around 20 years before being sold to the previous long-term owner in 1989.

More recently the car has been subject to a two-year, bare metal restoration by Jaguar specialists, with the engine and gearbox rebuilt, the wiring loom replaced, the instruments either refurbished or replaced and the upholstery re-trimmed with new leather seats, headliner, carpets, door panels and steering wheel fitted. The interior presents in beautiful condition, with lovely timberwork to the dash. The car sits on painted wire wheels with matching Dunlop RS tires.

Original 3.4L Straight-Six

4-Speed Manual Gearbox

Left-Hand Drive

Old English White

Red Leather Interior

Refurbished After 2009

Private Party or Dealer: Dealer

This 1952 Jaguar XK120 fixed head coupe is a left-hand drive example which is said to have been stored from the 1980s until the previous owner’s purchase in 2009. A refurbishment in Old English White over a new red leather interior was reportedly carried out in the following decade. Power comes from the original 3.4L straight-six mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox, both of which are said to have been rebuilt during the work. This XK120 is offered by the selling dealer in Bremerton, Washington with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate and a clean Hawaii title.

Originally Birch Grey, the exterior was refinished in Old English White paint during the refurbishment. The finish was reportedly wet sanded and buffed following application. Brightwork includes front and rear bumperettes as well as fender-mounted sideview mirrors, and is said to have been replated.

The interior was reportedly reupholstered with red Connolly leather on the seats and door panels. A stock 4-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a telescopically-adjusting column. The headliner is said to be a replacement, and the interior brightwork was refinished or renewed along with the rubber door seals.

The wood-faced dash houses Smiths instruments including a 140 mph speedometer and reverse-sweep tachometer along with a combination gauge showing water temperature and oil pressure. Approximately 31,300 miles are shown on the odometer, with total mileage unknown.

The original 3.4L straight-six features an aluminum cylinder head and was originally rated at 160 horsepower. The seller states that the engine has been rebuilt along with the 4-speed manual gearbox. Induction is from twin sidedraft SU carburetors, and a stainless steel exhaust system is fitted. A new clutch kit, wiring loom, and battery were reportedly fitted during the rebuild.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate lists the original colors and drivetrain numbers. Engine #W4759-8 matches both the chassis plate and the stamping on the engine block.

Lot #165017

This 1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe was initially distributed through Charles H. Hornburg, Jr., Inc. of Los Angeles, California, and it was refurbished around 2010 before being acquired by the seller on BaT in December 2018. Powered by a 3.4-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission, the car is finished in white over red leather upholstery. Equipment includes dual SU carburetors, driving lights, leather hood straps, fender-mounted side mirrors, black-painted 16” wire wheels, burl wood trim, and Smiths gauges. Work performed under current ownership has involved replacing the tires, wheels, wheel cylinders, brake master cylinder, fuel filter, oil sump, choke solenoid, and thermostatic fan control as well as adjusting the carburetors and repairing the transmission, windshield wipers, fuel gauge, and door trim. This XK120 FHC is now offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, manufacturer’s literature, service records from current ownership, a spare set of chrome-finished wire wheels, a tool kit, and Connecticut registration in the seller’s name.

Finished from the factory in Birch Grey, the car was repainted in white during the aforementioned refurbishment. Exterior equipment includes a split front windshield, driving lights, leather hood straps, fender-mounted sideview mirrors, chrome front bumpers, and chrome rear bumperettes. The windshield-wiper arms and motor were repaired under current ownership.

Black-finished 16” wire wheels featuring chrome knock-off hubs were replaced under current ownership along with the 215/70 Kumho Solus KR21 tires. 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 shocks. In 2019 the front and rear wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and boots were replaced.

The cabin has been reupholstered with red leather on the seats and the door panels. Burl wood trim adorns the dashboard and the door caps, and other amenities include red carpeting, a heater, a slide-out storage tray, a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, and sun visors. The interior trim around the passenger-door glass was repaired in 2022. The horn and the turn signals do not work.

A 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 32k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership; true mileage is unknown. The fuel gauge was repaired in 2019.

The 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six features dual SU carburetors and was factory rated at 160 horsepower. The wiring loom reportedly was replaced during the refurbishment. The oil sump and the choke solenoid were replaced and the carburetors were adjusted in 2019, and the fuel filter was replaced in 2020. In June 2024, the “otter switch” thermostatic fan control was replaced and the coolant was changed.

The seller notes that there is not a stamping on the cylinder head.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, which was repaired in 2019 by adjusting and shimming the shift lever.

Manufacturer’s literature in a leather portfolio, a tool kit, service records from current ownership, and a set of four chrome-finished wire wheels will accompany the vehicle.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate indicates that the car was built on April 21, 1952 and was dispatched to Hornburg in Los Angeles on May 7. The document also lists the vehicle’s factory colors and drivetrain numbers.

The car does not have a title, as it is registered in a state that does not issue titles for vehicles of its age. It is being sold on its Connecticut registration certificate, which identifies the car’s registered usage as “Antique”.
