Car to be at RM auction 8/08

Auction description:
1954 Jaguar XK 120SE Roadster
LOT: 288
Estimate:
$80,000-$110,000 US
Chassis No. S674263
180 bhp, 3,442 cc double overhead camshaft inline six-cylinder engine, four-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension with double wishbones and torsion bars, rigid rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, hydraulic four-wheel drum brakes. Wheelbase: 102"

This very desirable XK 120 Roadster has traveled a mere 38,046 miles since new, and was factory-equipped with the Special Equipment option, which included a high performance 3.4-liter engine with 180 brake horsepower, an upgraded suspension, chrome wire wheels, and a dual exhaust system. As confirmed by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, the car was manufactured on September 9th, 1953, and imported to the U.S.A. by the legendary Max Hoffman. Originally registered in Wisconsin through 1962, the XK 120 was disassembled for a planned restoration and remained in a barn for the next 30 years, until located and restored from 1992-1993. Originally finished in black, the car now displays a Jaguar Red finish, with a gorgeous biscuit leather interior by G.W. Bartlett, which is certified for adherence to the original Jaguar specifications.

Soon after the completion of its restoration, this beautifully presented XK 120SE Roadster enjoyed a long and successful show career, capturing many prestigious victories. Beginning with an AACA Grand National First Prize Award in 1994, the car continued its winning ways, as the 1995 Jaguar Clubs North America National XK 120 Champion, earning a score of 99.9+ points. Between 2003 and 2005, the Jaguar also won events at Bay Harbor, Hilton Head, and the Glenmoor Gathering. This car will also be familiar to regular attendees of the Meadow Brook Concours d’Elegance, where it won Best in Class in 1994.

The timeless design of the XK 120 will always make it one of the most beautiful automobiles around, and the offering of this 1954 Jaguar XK 120SE roadster offers a perfect opportunity to acquire one of the company’s finest efforts. Likewise, the high quality of its restoration and the Special Equipment package makes this Jaguar an important addition to any collection; it looks and sounds fabulous and is ready to be enjoyed and shown by its new owner.
