1952 Jaguar XK 120 Roadster s/n 671685 engine no. 3783-8
Red with Black Leather Interior

This matching numbers car has received a stunning and extremely comprehensive frame-off restoration a few hundred miles ago, and remains in freshly restored condition. The quality of the work is extremely high and included the renewal of all cosmetics and mechanicals, including the body, paint, glass, lights, rubber, complete interior, engine, suspension, brakes, and wiring harness. The engine compartment, trunk, and underside were refinished and detailed to show standards, and the car has a number of extras and special features, including sand-cast carburetors. The engine has break-in mileage only since a complete rebuild, and the cylinder head has been fitted with big valves and hardened valve seats. The exhaust system is a big bore stainless unit, and a louvred hood has also been fitted. The original polished aluminum fan is included for the show-minded enthusiast, and the wire wheels are alloy-rimmed, including the spare. A thoughtfully executed hard tonneau cover is included for the passenger side, as are all of the components necessary to run the car with Brooklands screens (including fairing for the rear view mirror and blank off plates). The jack, tire pump, and full tool roll are present in the trunk, and all tires are period Dunlop items. A pair of Lucas accessory lamps is also fitted, and the grease gun is present in the engine compartment.

The exterior of the car is in beautiful show condition, with superb paint, preparation and panels. The gaps and fit are both excellent, and there is no wear evident. The chrome is fresh and outstanding throughout, including on the wheels and spinners. All glass and lights are excellent as well, and the car is fitted with Lucas tri-bar headlamps and Lucas accessory fog lamps. The difficult to fit windscreen is properly installed on this car.

The interior has been completely redone as well, and is in very nice condition. The upholstery on the seats, door panels, and dashboard excellent with light patina, and the well-fitted carpets are very nice. The curved back seats provide a bit more space for the occupants, and the well-fitted hard tonneau cover is very neat.

The trunk was comprehensively and correctly restored, with the correct liner and lamp to the inside of the lid, as well as the original factory air pump! The carpeting was redone, and the spare compartment and spare were also restored.

The engine compartment was beautifully restored as well, and remains sparkling. The wiring, inner fenders, engine, ancillaries and hardware are all spotless and spectacular. The engine compartment is extremely correct, down to the braided covering on the wires.

The underside is similarly well-done. The frame and body are spotlessly detailed, as are the engine, suspension, brakes, driveline, and exhaust. The stainless exhaust system attractive and sounds wonderful. Even the leather covers for the leaf springs have been replaced. The car is quite literally better than new, with nearly all components having been refinished or replaced.

The car drives extremely well. The engine makes excellent, smooth power with great oil pressure as you would expect from a freshly rebuilt unit. The unmistakable straight six exhaust note of this car is a very special treat. The brakes are effective, and the suspension is tight. The transmission requires deliberate shifts, as is often the case with Moss boxes. The owner of the car is aware of this and is flexible to help facilitate the rectification of this issue since the new owner may wish to fit a 5-speed gearbox instead of repairing the current matching numbers one.

This is an opportunity to acquire a superbly-restored example of this important and beautiful car.

Auction description:
Sale 18267 - Exceptional Motorcars and Automobilia, 12 Aug 2010 to 13 Aug 2010
Quail Lodge
Lot No: 654•
1952 Jaguar XK-120SE Open Two-Seater
Chassis no. 671685
Engine no. W37838

This XK120 Open Two-Seater has been treated to a recent frame-off restoration. Completed in 2007, this included a complete engine rebuild, with C-type cylinder head fitted with hardened valve seats to accommodate unleaded fuel. Large, two-inch sandcast Type C racing carburetors feed the fuel. A new lightweight flywheel was fitted, mated to a rebuilt Moss gearbox. The engine has porcelain headers and a large-diameter stainless steel exhaust, the sum of these refinements adding some 15bhp. It has been driven fewer than 1,000 miles since the rebuild, and is still being broken in.

The body was restored to the most exacting standards of fit and finish, and painted brilliant red. All panels exhibit excellent alignment, with even gaps. There is a custom-made metal tonneau cover, painted in body color' Brooklands screens and mirror completely the racing look. The interior is done in black leather, matching the small-window canvas top, and there are matching Wilton wool carpets. A new wiring harness was installed as part of the restoration.

The suspension was rebuilt, with neoprene bushings, new Koni shock absorbers and sway bars. The car has wide alloy Dunlop wire race wheels, fitted with matching wide tires. The vendor reports that it handles beautifully on tight turns, and corners like a dream. The undercarriage is carefully detailed.

Offered with a documented service history and a complete set of tools and handbooks, it is a very special British sports car. A Heritage Certificate from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust documents its specification and provenance. A thoroughly satisfying automobile, it is aptly summed up by its owner: "The engine sounds truly breathtaking at speed and it handles beautifully." Offered on a California Certificate of Title.

Estimate: $110,000 - 120,000

Lot #251997

This 1952 Jaguar XK120 roadster was built on October 4, 1951 and dispatched to the US via Hornburg Jaguar of Los Angeles, California. The car was repainted red under prior ownership and was acquired by the current owner in 2012. A five-speed manual transmission was subsequently installed, and a rebuilt 3.8-liter inline-six was fitted the following year. Additional equipment includes a black convertible top, a split front windshield, chrome bumpers and bumperettes, front driving lights, a louvered hood, chrome 16” wire wheels with knock-off hubs, and Smiths gauges. This XK120 roadster is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with the removed 3.4L inline-six and four-speed manual gearbox, a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, the owner’s manual, service records, a car cover, tool rolls, spare parts, and a clean California title.

Finished from the factory in silver, the car was repainted red some time ago. Louvers were added to the hood, and additional equipment includes tri-bar headlights, Lucas driving lights, a black convertible top, a split front windshield, chrome front bumpers, chrome rear bumperettes, and a polished exhaust outlet. The right fender was repaired in 2008, and the rear quarter panels were repaired and repainted in 2011.

Chrome 16” wire wheels feature knock-off hubs and are mounted with Vredestein Sprint Classic tires measuring 185HR16. The car was factory equipped with an independent front suspension with telescopic-type hydraulic shock absorbers as well as semi-elliptical rear leaf springs and Girling hydraulic rear shock absorbers. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drums.

The cabin features bucket seats with black leather upholstery complemented by color-coordinated door panels and carpets.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer, a reverse-sweep 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 4k miles, and total mileage is unknown.

The 3.8L inline-six was bored .020″ over and rebuilt with CP pistons, ARB rod bolts, and stainless-steel valves before being installed by Vintage Auto Service of Oakland, California, in 2013. An aluminum radiator was installed in 2015.

A five-speed manual transmission was installed by Vintage Auto Service in 2012.

The removed 3.4L inline-six and four-speed manual transmission are included in the sale. Cylinder head and block stampings W3783-8 are shown in the gallery, and a corresponding number is listed on the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate.

The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate indicates that the car was built on October 4th, 1951, and lists the factory serial numbers, colors, and equipment.
