Although there is much pitting in the front fenders and various other bits of metal repair, it is very restore-able project.

Along with being a numbers matching car (engine, body, frame, transmission) and rolling car that is largely solid (other than rockers, trunk and battery box) it includes one whole and two half roofs, both FHC window frames with sidelights and glass, original/new stock taillights minus lenses, new brake cylinders and master cylinder, new glass for speedo and tach, most of headlight chrome, a cracked but complete front windshield, extra windshield glass, interior back lights, new license plate light, rear and new side mirrors.

It does not include grill or other chrome parts like bumpers and door handles. Also there are no seats nor interior wood trim. No radiator and no fuel tank.

I do have ownership papers or title on the car not to mention a partial list of previous owners.

JUST ARRIVED, 10-7
Brand Jaguar
Type XK 120 Fixed Head Coupé
Color Blue
Interior Red

Price € 98.500,-

JAGUAR XK 120 FIXED HEAD COUPE

Cosmetically and mechanically well-restored
Beautiful Bugatti like body lines
Superb color combination

This specific Jaguar XK 120 Fixed Head Coupe has been fully restored in the Netherlands some years ago.

The complete body has been stripped and has been newly restored.

Every single piece has been taken apart.

When the Jaguar restoration was finished, the car was sold to a Dutch collector who used the Jaguar once in a while for going to events. The last even was in Lelystad which is approximately 200 kilometers from the former owner and the Jaguar performed without any problems on a very hot day.

CONDITION EXTERIOR
The car is in exceptional freshly-restored condition. The body is extremely straight and has excellent gaps. The paintwork was done to very high standards and is free of scratches or dents.

The chrome is also excellent without any pitting.

The appearance of the car is particularly elegant thanks to the fitment of closed wheels and spats, which gives a wonderful period aesthetic look.

CONDITION INTERIOR
The interior of a Jaguar XK 120 fixed head is very nice even as the body. The beautiful wooden dashboard goes thru around the doors and the headlining. Actually it is a piece of art, both inside and outside.

The interior has been fully redone during the restoration as well and the level was high.

The carpets are all period correct and very nicely done.

The period correct bucket seats have been retrimmed as well and they are still as new without any scratches or signs of use.

All the period correct switches and instruments are correctly working and looks to be perfect in detail.

Even the boot of the Jaguar has been very nicely restored.

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
