Auction description:
The Iconic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2024
JAGUAR XK120 FHC
Registration Number FSK 697
MOT Expiry Exempt
Chassis Number 680257
Transmission Manual
Body Colour Opalescent Silver
This particular Jaguar XK120 FHC was originally shipped to the USA in 1952 before distribution through Jaguar Cars New York, remaining there for some time before returning to the UK in 1990, at which point a schedule of works was required to bring the XK back to a standard befitting of such an elegant Grand Tourer.
Over the following two years, the body was stripped to bare metal and refinished in Jaguar Opalescent Silver but not before new doors and an alloy boot lid were fitted. Mechanically everything was thoroughly checked and overhauled, including the fitting of a slightly later and more powerful XK 140 'S-spec' engine fitted with a ‘C-Type' head. Various other works were also completed at this time including the fitting of a stainless steel exhaust system, a replacement fuel tank with Facet Fuel pump, a new wiring loom and woodwork refinished by Classic Veneers.
More recently recommissioned after a period of inactivity, the Jaguar now presents extremely well and, with a clean bill of health, is ready to be used once again as intended, be that out on the open road, gracing the show field or, being left-hand drive it's particularly suitable for European touring. Whatever your requirements, this very sensibly guided XK certainly warrants your early inspection which we welcome and encourage.
