The 1954 Jaguar XK 120SE Roadster pictured here, finished in red with a black interior and a matching soft-top, is a very attractive example wearing stainless steel wire wheels. The Jaguar was treated to a ground-up cosmetic restoration in the early nineties, during which the interior was refinished, the exterior was repainted and the chrome was redone. The engine, which is original to the car, has never been disassembled, but has been serviced regularly and remains in excellent running and driving condition.

Having participated without fault in the California Mille on two occasions since completing its restoration, the Jaguar wears a sticker from each event and there is visible evidence of road use in the chassis, interior and paint. There are currently only 47,530 miles registered on the odometer, which is believed to be the correct mileage from new.

In addition to its original SE equipment, the Roadster comes with an album documenting its restoration as well as its original set of red painted wire wheels. Ready for more grand touring opportunities, this XK 120SE Roadster has the power and the grace to keep you smiling from ear to ear.
