Goodwood Revival, Chichester, Sussex
Lot No: 363
1952 Jaguar XK120 Coupé
Registration no. YPN 635
Chassis no. 679445

Estimate: £56,000 - 62,000, € 68,000 - 75,000

An original left-hand drive model, this XK120 fixed-head coupé was sold new in the USA via Jaguar's West Coast importer Hornburg of Los Angeles in March 1952. The car is believed to have been imported in 1989 into Germany, where it was restored before coming to the UK in 1998 and being acquired by well known Jaguar enthusiast, Roy Hatfield. Further extensive work was then undertaken by XK specialists Derek Watson and Ken Jenkins, including conversion to right-hand drive, fitting a 4.2-litre engine equipped with triple 2" SU carburettors, and installing an all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox with overdrive. This work was featured in the March 1999 edition of 'XK' magazine, a copy of which is in the history file.
This is a very handsome example with louvred bonnet, leather bonnet straps and Monza filler cap. The mechanical specification also includes disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, aluminium radiator, telescopic rear shock absorbers, poly-bushed front suspension, etc. The batteries have been relocated under the front wing as in later XKs.
In 1999 'YPN 635' participated in the 50th anniversary celebrations of the XK120's famous timed runs at Jabbeke in Belgium where it recorded a terminal speed of 131.8mph. In 2003 the car was acquired for the collection of a major Jaguar distributor, since when it has been used sparingly.
This is a very sporting Jaguar combining the sublime looks of the XK120 FHC with sensible mechanical upgrades for modern performance motoring. These modifications have been properly undertaken by XK experts and the result is a car that has tremendous performance and drives superbly. Described as in generally excellent condition with good paint and chrome, it is offered with a detailed history file including MoTs dating back to 1998, JDHT Heritage certificate, FIVA identity card, current road fund licence, MoT to June 2011 and Swansea V5C document.

1952 Jaguar XK120 4.2-Litre Fixed-Head Coupé

Registration no. YPN 635

Chassis no. 679445

£ 80,000 - 100,000

Sold for £86,625

* Ex Roy Hatfield

* Delivered new to the USA

* Converted from left- to right-hand drive

* Extensively upgraded with 4.2-litre engine

* All-synchromesh overdrive gearbox

* Disc brakes

Originally a left-hand drive model, this XK120 fixed-head coupé was sold new in the USA via Jaguar's West Coast importer Hornburg of Los Angeles in March 1952. The car is believed to have been imported in 1989 into Germany, where it was restored before coming to the UK in 1998 and being acquired by well known Jaguar enthusiast, Roy Hatfield. Further extensive work was then undertaken by XK specialists Derek Watson and Ken Jenkins, including conversion to right-hand drive, fitting a 4.2-litre engine equipped with triple 2" SU carburettors, and installing an all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox with overdrive. This work was featured in the March 1999 edition of 'XK' magazine, a copy of which is in the history file.

This is a very handsome example with louvred bonnet, leather bonnet straps and Monza filler cap. The mechanical specification also includes disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, with most importantly an adjustable steering column, along with aluminium radiator, telescopic rear shock absorbers, poly-bushed front suspension, etc. The batteries have been relocated under the front wing as in later XKs.

In 1999 'YPN 635' participated in the 50th anniversary celebrations of the XK120's famous timed runs at Jabbeke in Belgium where it recorded a terminal speed of 131.8mph. The following year it successfully completed the Millennium Monte Challenge, starting at Brooklands and finishing in Cannes, a distance of 1,800 miles on the event and 2,600 in total. The XK finished 2nd in class and 13th overall out of 130 competitors, and won the Team Prize. In 2003 the car was acquired for the collection of a major Jaguar distributor, following which it was used sparingly. It has belonged to the current registered keeper since 2010. Stored for the last 8-9 years, the car was last MoT'd in 2011 at 37,928 miles (the current odometer reading is 42,758 miles).

This is a very sporting Jaguar combining the sublime looks of the XK120 FHC with sensible mechanical upgrades for modern high-performance motoring. These modifications have been properly undertaken by XK experts and the result is a car that has tremendous performance and drives superbly. Described as in generally very good condition, it is offered with a detailed history file containing restoration invoices, MoTs dating back to 1998, JDHT Heritage certificate, FIVA identity card, and a V5C registration document.

1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe

Former Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique Competitor

Estimate £60,000 - £80,000

Registration No: YPN 635

Chassis No: S679445

MOT: Exempt

Restored and uprated in 1998 by Watjag for the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique, achieving 2nd in class and 13th overall

Right-hand drive conversion with 4.2-litre engine with twin SU carburettors, competition clutch and 4-speed synchromesh gearbox with overdrive

Said to be ‘on the button’ and ready to enjoy

Offered for sale with a large history file accompanying a current Swansea V5C

Built in March 1952, `YPN 635′ started life as a left hand drive export model and was delivered new to its first owner by Hornburg of Los Angeles. It then returned to these shores in the 1998, whereupon it was restored and uprated by Watjag of Derbyshire in order to contest the Monte Carlo classic rally. The Jaguar was converted to righthand drive and equipped with a 4.2-litre engine breathing through a trio of SU carburettors and driving via a lightened flywheel and competition clutch to an all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox complete with overdrive. Other modifications included XK150 rack and pinion steering, uprated Koni dampers, servo-assisted brakes complete with vented discs and four-pot calipers up front, an alloy radiator, uprated alternator, louvered bonnet by RS Panels and related leather straps, stainless steel exhaust system, repositioned pedals, bucket seats and a smaller steering wheel in order to accommodate taller drivers. The extensive work was duly rewarded with a 2nd in class and 13th place overall in the rally. This highly desirable and attractive XK is finished in Silver Sand and trimmed in Red leather and is perhaps unsurprisingly currently regarded by the vendor as being in superb cosmetic and mechanical condition. It is now being offered complete with a variety of related magazine articles, large file of invoices, collection of old MOTs, plus photos of the restoration. An exciting opportunity for classic rally enthusiasts and XK collectors everywhere.
