1954 JAGUAR XK-120 ROADSTER

1954 Jaguar XK-120 ROADSTER Additional Info:

1954 XK-120 Roadster. Carmine red exterior with biscuit interior. Excellent original car (except perishables). Runs and sounds great with dual SS exhausts. This outstanding car is a driver that also wins at Concours! One of the last produced XK-120’s and one of the best examples of this iconic/classic car: a beautiful work of “rolling art” that can only be fully appreciated by the thrill of driving out on the road—No “Trailer Queen,” this “Beauty Queen” lives to move, holds curves, and turns heads.

Seeing the car for the first time while judging other British marques, the present owner sought out her own lovely “baby” for 5 years before finding the perfect combo that possessed all that is essential to an outstanding XK-120 : a sexy color, dual exhausts, molded (non-chrome) signal lights and no rear view mirror on the fenders to distract from the flowing lines of the car, fender skirts on the rear wheels and beauty rings on all and, most importantly, a driver car in superior original condition that could be enjoyed on the road. Finally, after looking at dozens of cars in numerous states, this gem was found in Malibu, CA. The location proved perfect because after the car was fully vetted locally, it was driven up the coast on beautiful Big Sur Highway 1 and then taken over to XK’s Unlimited facility in San Luis Obispo, CA (recognized as the premier classic restoration Jaguar shop). The carwas left there for a couple of months where a thorough and extensive mechanical overhaul was completed with everything either replaced with proper, authentic parts or fully repaired as necessary. The car has now been well maintained and lovingly cared for ever since. Complete service records are available. All original tools are included along with the folding top, side curtains, and car manual. The Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate confirms the authenticity and originality of this fine roadster.
