Sellers description:
This 1954 Jaguar XK 120 Roadster is the final year of the famed William Lions designed XK120 series and as such the most desirable and technologically advanced. First or last year production of any Marque is always the most sought after. Vehicle has covered approximately 14,000 miles since restoration and is well sorted. Jaguar hood emblem, headlights and fog lights are not reproduction and are correct and original for this car. Paint reflects the 14,000 miles (Patina) and although not perfect (some road chips and touch ups) is still quite presentable as reflected in the pictures. Interior and bright work still unmarked and looking fresh as are the top and side curtains. The car is equipped with 16 inch chrome wire wheels and tires which are the correct size for the car. Fully detailed trunk fitted with complete tool roll, jack and spanner as well as the fifth chrome wheel and tire and of course, a correct air pump as well. Vehicle runs as good or better than it looks. A great driver! It's hard to believe that this car is now 54 years old and unlike us humans of the same age still turns heads everywhere it goes. First place winner Clearwater Florida Jaguar Class, "all British" show 2007.

Auction description:
1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster
From the John Osha Collection
Offered Withour Reserve
VIN: S675799
Engine W70598B
THE CAR... This wonderful example was treated to a full restoration prior to joining the Osha collection and presents itself today ready for enjoyment. Used sparingly by the current owner, who describes driving this legendary roadster as an "experience forcing the driver to pay attention to the road, which is what a sports car should be", also said that it was one of his all-time favorite cars. Under the hood the original engine shows only minimal use since restoration with both SU carburetors in fine tune.
Mechanically this XK120 is an easy starter and the transmission goes through the gears with little effort. A little over a year ago our consignor invested a significant amount of money into a total front suspension rebuild when all rubber components were replaced and the alignment made true and straight. This work resulted in what is described, a totally different handling pattern, taming the wild beast.
Finished in bright red, the XK120's body panels line up quite well with no issues regarding deck, hood or door fit. Looking at the interior which is trimmed in black leather, you can see only the slightest of wear while the original gauges mounted neatly in the black trimmed dashboard are clean, clear, and reported to be functional. Looking fresh and new is the black folding top which stores neatly behind the seats. Among the many extras this XK120 sports are the Rudge-Whitworth knock-off chrome wire wheels and the original tool roll including the special hammer used to secure and loosen those gleaming wheels.
Jaguar created the XK series for one specific purpose, to be driven and enjoyed at an exhilarating pace and the new owner of this 120 roadster is sure to have many pleasurable miles with this outstanding example.
