Year 1953

Make Jaguar

Model XK120

Colour Lavender Grey

Odometer 18,800 Miles

Engine size 3442

Location Devon

Country United Kingdom

• Stunning Lavender Grey/ Green interior combo

• Fully restored in 2010 having engine rebuilt and new roof. 

• Mille Miglia eligible

Up until recently, this gorgeous vehicle has spent its entire life in California, USA where it was owned by XKs Unlimited, a classic Jag specialist. It was completely restored by XK Unlimited prior to it’s import to an incredible standard, which was taken further by the current owner with an engine rebuild and new drop top canvas.

This LHD car has seen very little use in the UK, mainly kept covered in a garage, safe and secure, keeping the rare lavender grey paint amongst other things protected from the elements.

The paperwork 

Some history is present, all of which from it’s arrival in the UK, including the £8,430 recent engine rebuild and 123 ignition install. 

Confirmation of the vehicle's registration in the UK is also present - the washington plates are just for show.

The Exterior

Simply put, the exterior on this XK120 is sublime. The lavender grey and chrome detailing are sensational, it looks absolutely fabulous in the british sun. 

The restoration in the US has been done to a great standard. Head to toe, top to bottom, wire wheel to wire wheel, this car is sophisticated perfection. 

The sidescreens are wrapped up safe and probably have been since its restoration and the canvas roof has been recently renewed here in the UK too. No sign of anything unwanted on the metal. 

This is a showroom condition car.

The Interior

Perfection unsurprisingly continues inside with suede green interior, green leather seats, dash and matching green carpet are in perfect condition, the combination of these and the lavender paint is delightful, it brings an even more elegant feel to an already signified classic. 

This car is truly impeccable inside and out, including under the bonnet, boot and underneath.

The Mechanics

A recent engine rebuild helps reinforce the quality of this car, the current owner wanted to ensure every nut and bolt was how it should be. 

From that rebuild the car has done almost zero miles, only being started and moved on to a trailer and for the attached photographs. A new ignition system was also installed to help with starting. 

The 3.4L roars proudly, still ticking over confidently and still sending shivers down the spines of onlookers, just like it did 68 years ago.
