    Classified ad price: £79,950.

    Sellers description:
    Dorset Jaguar & Sports Cars are very proud to offer for sale this magnificent Jaguar XK120 DHC SE. 'FAS161' was registered new exactly one month after Her Majesty's Coronation and therefore shares it's sixtieth birthday with the Queen's Jubilee. Supplied new by renowned Jaguar concessionaire for the USA Charles Hornburg of Los Angeles to a Mr Allan H Buck from Oklahoma City, this is chassis number S 677590, the 590th to leave the factory and number 590 of only 1472 left hand drive XK120 DHC's produced, this being a very special 'SE' model with extras features including knock-off wire wheels, twin exhaust pipes, high lift camshafts, stiffer front torsion bars and fog lamps. Imported into the UK in 2002 and on it's arrival into Great Britain she received a ground-up restoration in the hands of well-known Jaguar expert Robert Taylor, instructed by its new local multi-millionaire businessman owner who purchased and had the car restored as a 50th birthday present to himself. However, due to business and family commitments less than 250 miles were ever driven in the car between 2002 and now, enabling the car to remain in completely restored condition. The underneath is as perfect as it appears on top and the the interior is as near to perfect as we have ever seen on an XK120. Many essential upgrades were carried out on the car including a 5 speed Getrag gearbox, E Type 3 Pot front brake calipers with disc brakes and electric battery isolator switch. Finished in gleaming Jaguar Red with contrasting ivory hide, we present this matching chassis numbers car with current V5 document stating only one owner since importation in 2002 and Jaguar Heritage certificate. This sensational XK120 would benefit any private collection and is a great enjoyable long term investment!

    car is on auction by coys:

    www.coys.co.uk/auction.php

    Lot 124 - 1953 Jaguar XK120 SE Drophead Coupe

    Estimate: £55,000 - £65,000

    Registration Number: FAS 161

    Chassis Number: S 677590

    This particular car is a very special SE model with extra features including knock-off wire wheels, twin exhaust pipes, high lift camshafts, stiffer front torsion bars and fog lamps. Imported to the UK in 2002 and on upon its arrival into the UK it received a ground-up restoration in the hands of well known Jaguar expert Robert Taylor, on behalf of its owner who had the car restored as a 50th birthday present to himself.

    However, due to business and family commitments less than 250 miles have been covered to date enabling the car to remain in excellent condition throughout. The vendor informs us the underneath is in as good condition as the bodywork and the interior is also described as excellent. Many essential but subtle upgrades were carried out on the car including a 5 speed Getrag gearbox, E-Type 3 pot front brake callipers with disc brakes and electric battery isolator switch. This matching numbers car comes complete with the current V5 document stating one owner since importation in 2002 and a Jaguar Heritage certificate.

    A fine example of one of the rarest of XK models and described by the vendor as being in excellent condition in every respect, this British drop-head sport scar represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fine example with all the costly work completed.

    Near concours condition and dry stored for 11 years

    Only 2,500 miles since full restoration

    Original tools and period radio fitted

    Includes Jaguar Heritage Certificate

    This Jaguar XK120 SE Drophead Coupe offered in left-hand drive by The Classic Motor Hub is a beautifully restored example having covered only 2500 miles since its nut and bolt and body off restoration. The restoration was completed in 2002 by marque expert Robert Taylor in celebration of the owners 50th birthday. Work completed within the restoration include a new VSE engine totally rebuilt by VSE to an incredibly high specification. A new clutch has been fitted to the car, new Wilton carpets have been added as well retrimmed cream leather seats and hood and finally the rear springs have been fitted with the correct leather gaiters.

    Included within the sale are a collection of original tools, period radio that has been converted for modern use as well as the brake servo which have remained unfitted to the car and its Heritage Certificate. This XK120 DHC SE has been lovingly dry stored for the past 11 years and is offered in near concours condition with front discs and 5 speed Tremec gearbox.

    This XK120 SE DHC offered for sale by The Classic Motor Hub is now available for immediate inspection.

    Note: Even though this is a matching numbers car, the engine is not fitted with its original head.
