Auction description:

1953 Jaguar XK 120 SE Roadster

St Moritz, Switzerland

17 September 2021

Chassis No. S 674298

Today, this 1953 Jaguar XK 120 SE presents nicely in silver over red, having benefited from a restoration in years past. The current owner had this car set up for classic racing, with invoices totalling over £64,000 from CKL Developments Ltd and M&C Wilkinson. The hood and front bumper were removed, and twin Brooklands aero screens were fitted, as were a driver sideview mirror, a removable roll bar, headlamp stone guards, and a leather bonnet strap. Further racing modifications include a battery kill switch and a fire-suppression system. The car rides on colour-matched knock-off wire wheels and features blank roundels throughout, awaiting the next owner’s desired racing number to be applied.

The interior was retrimmed, and now features red upholstery and red carpets. It features Smiths instrumentation and a dash-mounted rear-view mirror. This Jaguar’s engine block is numbers matching, however, the car’s original C-Type cylinder head has been replaced. The current gearbox is a Moss model JL, with model JH internals. It was rebuilt by CKL, in October 2012, at a cost of £4,676.

This XK 120 SE is a steel-bodied car, with the steel doors and bonnet replaced with alloy equivalents. Its engine was rebuilt by CKL in 2013. CKL and M&C Wilkinson prepared this XK 120 SE for racing, hill climbs, and FIA approval.

This XK 120 SE is presented with its JDHT Production Record Trace Certificate, select invoices, MSA FIA Historical Technical Passport. The Jaguar has participated in events such as the Mille Miglia Storica, Tour Auto, Targa Florio, Gstaad Classic, and 2014 Le Mans Classic, and would no doubt be a worthy entrant to many more.
