Seller's description:

Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you this stunning 1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe. The car before us today was produced on April 4th, 1952, with red paint and biscuit interior was then sent to Los Angeles, California, per the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate. After examining the car, we have determined that this XK120 retains its original numbers-matching chassis, body, engine block, head, and 4-speed manual transmission! That's right - this is a true numbers-matching car! This Jaguar comes to us fresh from a complete nut-and-bolt restoration that touched literally every inch of the car. It is now dressed in a show-quality coat of fresh Ivory paint with a gorgeous red interior – an absolutely perfect color combination for this coupe! The white paint really brings out the swooping body lines of what is widely considered one of the most beautiful shapes ever to grace an automobile. The body itself is made of pressed steel with aluminum doors, bonnet, and boot lid. All the chrome and brightwork on the car is in exceptional condition with a brilliant shine and no pitting. Up front, you'll find a gleaming vertical-bar oval grille flanked by round Lucas headlamps set in bright bezels and mirror-finish chrome bumperettes down low. Above the grille is a like-new gold Jaguar head badge, and up on top of the fenders are dual chrome side mirrors and turn signal indicators. The curved bonnet leads your attention back to a chrome-framed split windshield complete with a set of bright wiper arms. The windshield and all of the other glass on the car are brand new and crystal clear. The main door windows as well as the front and rear pop-out vent windows are all framed in chrome trim, just like the windshield. The view from the side of this Jaguar is truly the most breathtaking vantage point, showing off the swooping fender lines and the curvaceous top. The wheel/tire combination brings the whole look together with Ivory-painted steel wheels, beauty rings, and correct Jaguar centercaps all wrapped in new Dunlop Road Speed RS5 tires (6-ply nylon tube-type). Removable rear fender spats enhance the streamlined look from the side. Sophisticated styling continues around back with a downward-sloping rear end that features round taillights in bright fixtures, dual vertical chrome bumperettes, a locking gas fill door, a bright license plate lamp fixture, and a single stainless steel tailpipe peeking out from underneath. Twist the bright handle and lift the boot lid to find an immaculate trunk with red vinyl lining, a full spare, a period air-pump, and all of the correct factory jacking equipment mounted to the sidewalls. The leather strap that would hold the factory tool roll is present, though the tool roll is not. The undercarriage of this XK120 is just as exceptional as the top side, and it's painted Ivory just like the body. It is obvious that literally every detail underneath was attended to with equal vigor during the restoration.

Under the bonnet is an exemplary engine bay that is home to the fabulous XK engine that made these Jaguars famous. It is a 3.4-liter 210ci straight six cylinder engine that boasts twin overhead camshafts running in an aluminum-alloy cylinder head with seven main bearings and a maximum output of 160bhp. It is a low-compression engine by today's standards (8:1) and can be run on standard pump gas. Other engine highlights include correct twin side-draft SU carburetors (both were rebuilt), gleaming valve covers, black porcelain-coated exhaust manifolds, and a correct Jaguar grease gun mounted on the sidewall. The engine was rebuilt during the restoration process, and it starts and runs like a top. The engine is mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox (also rebuilt) that shifts easily as it sends power to the rear wheels. Stopping power comes from 4-wheel 12" hydraulic drum brakes.

Open the driver's door to reveal an exquisite interior appointed with red leather, burled walnut, and shining chrome. The door panels are covered with red leather, capped off at the top with a strip of luxurious burled walnut. The OEM-correct door handles and window cranks feature elegant styling and look like new. Flawless red leather seats with bucket bases and a split bench back welcome you inside for a special driving experience. Once you're inside with the door shut, you can see that the side windows are entirely framed with burled walnut, and it covers the entire dash as well. The red carpet underfoot is new and fresh with a perfect fit. Rising from the center tunnel is a black pattern knob shifter with a chrome stalk and a red leather boot. Just to the right of the shifter is a chromed emergency brake lever, also with a red leather boot. Directly ahead of the driver is a black 4-spoke OEM steering wheel on a telescopic column. The wheel features a chrome band with a Jaguar head at the center of the working horn button and a slider just above the button that operates the turn signal indicators. The beautiful wood dash ahead of the passengers is truly a work of automotive art! Atop the center of the dash is a miniscule rear-view mirror and an even smaller ashtray. Set in the dash itself are working Smiths gauges for oil, water, petrol, and oil as well as a 140mph speedometer and a reverse-sweep tachometer with built-in analog clock. There are switches for panel & interior lights and a knob for exterior lights. You'll also notice that amongst the gauges are controls for the working wipers and heater. The key ignition is located on the dashboard, and so is the start button. Beneath the gauges is a slide-out wooden drawer with a felt liner. At the far right of the dash is a locking door with even more green felt-lined storage behind it. There is a chrome pull-knob beneath the passenger side of the dash that acts as a hood release. Overhead, you'll find a tight grey fabric headliner and two tinted plexiglass visors. If you fold the front seats forward, you can access a wide but shallow storage space at the top of the rear package tray with a lift-up door.

It is not every day that you're lucky enough to see a '53 Jaguar XK120 FHC – let alone one that has been restored to this high level. This car would be a shining star in any collection, and it's sure to bring home awards and trophies by the trunkload! It's a beautiful work of art to look at, but it is also an excellent driving machine that needs nothing but a new owner to hit the road and start enjoying it! Just a reminder – numbers-matching body, chassis, engine, head, and transmission, Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, complete nut and bolt restoration just completed, and just 34,690 actual miles! Call one of our friendly staff today and be the lucky one who gets to call this stupendous piece of automotive history their own!

This 1952 Jaguar XK120 is a Fixed Head Coupe that was produced on April 1952 and distributed via Charles H. Hornburg, Jr., Inc. of Los Angeles, California. Chassis 679593 underwent a color change to white and an interior re-trim in red leather along with rebuilds of the 3.4-liter inline-six and four-speed manual gearbox as part of a body-off refurbishment completed from 2022 to 2025. The car rides on body-color 16″ steel wheels with Jaguar-branded hubcaps and features a split front windshield and Lucas tri-bar headlights as well as lockable and removable rear fender spats. Inside, bucket seats are accompanied by burled wood trim as well as a heater and Smiths instrumentation. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2025, this XK120 Fixed Head Coupe is now offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate and a clean Ohio title listing it as a 1953 model.

Finished from the factory in red, this FHC was repainted white as part of the aforementioned 2022-2025 refurbishment. Additional work involved refinishing the exterior brightwork and replacing the glass. The car wears a split front windshield as well as chrome front bumpers and rear bumperettes, and further details include Lucas PL-series tri-bar headlights as well as lockable and removable rear fender spats.

The 16″ steel wheels are finished in white and wear bright trim rings trim rings along with Jaguar-branded hubcaps. The wheels are mounted with Dunlop tires, and a full-size spare is stored in the trunk along with a collection of tools. 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 hydraulic four-wheel drums.

The cabin features bucket seats that were re-trimmed in red leather upholstery as part of the refurbishment, and color-coordinated trim extends to the shift and parking brake boots along with the door panels. The headliner is trimmed in gray upholstery, while the floors are lined with bright red carpets. Further equipment includes a heater, a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, plexiglass visors, and pop-out rear vent windows.

A four-spoke steering wheel fronts a burled wood dash, and matching wood trim accents the tops of the doors as well as the window surrounds. Centrally mounted Smiths instrumentation includes a reverse-sweep 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock as well as a 140-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 35k miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership.

Factory rated at 160 horsepower, the 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six is equipped with dual SU carburetors and mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. The engine and transmission were reportedly rebuilt in the course of the refurbishment process.

The frame was refinished in black at the time of the body-off refurbishment. Additional underside photos are presented in the gallery.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate notes a production date of April 4, 1952, and lists factory equipment, colors, and additional production information.
