This 1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe was acquired by the current owner in 1970 and underwent a multi-year refurbishment that was completed in 2005. The car is finished in two-tone burgundy and black over black leather upholstery and is powered by a replacement 3.4-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes fender-mounted side mirrors, rear wheel spats, 16″ steel wheels, lavender-tinted sun visors, and a Sony head unit. This XK120 is offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with manufacturer’s literature, service manuals, magazines, refurbishment photos, spare parts, and a clean Arizona title in the owner’s name.
The car left the factory finished in black was refinished in two-tone burgundy and black following the repair of body panels. Additional equipment includes rear wheel spats, chrome bumpers, and fender-mounted side mirrors. The brightwork was re-chromed as part of the refurbishment.
Burgundy-finished 16″ steel wheels wear Jaguar-branded hubcaps and are wrapped in Excelsior tires. A spare is mounted in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes.
The seller notes that the interior was refreshed in 2005 with replacement black leather upholstery on the seats and door panels as well as a replacement wool headliner and carpeting. Appointments include a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, a lockable glovebox, lavender-tinted sun visors, vent windows, and a Sony head unit with controls mounted in the pull-out storage tray. The wood trim is cracked and peeling, a leaper logo is missing from one of the seatbelts, and the rear-shelf carpet is faded.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer and a reverse-sweep tachometer with an inset clock. The fuel level and temperature gauges are inoperative. An auxiliary temperature gauge is mounted on the transmission tunnel. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 10k miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 3.4-liter inline-six was rebuilt in 2005 and is equipped with double overhead camshafts, polished camshaft covers, and a stainless-steel exhaust system. The lower radiator hose is said to have been replaced in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
Refurbishment photos, manufacturer’s literature, service manuals, magazines, awards, and spare parts are included in the sale.
