Up for auction is a 1954 Jaguar XK120 “S” (SE Special Equipment High HP engine) roadster. CATZ Auto restoration performedthe restoration of this car in 2000 with roughly 80,074 miles on it at the time of restoration. This car presented today is an extreamly well preserved older restoration with less than 3,000 miles since a total restoration. The rust free car body was stripped to bare metal and repainted a different color than original pastel blue but in correct Glasurit Jaguar silver metallic. All body panels were the originals and the fit and finish is near perfect withoutany scratches or door dings. The matching numbers head andengineblock were totally rebuilt with new pistons, valves, springs, bearings, tensioner, uprated rear seal, water pump, electronic ignition, oil pump, refaced flywheel and new clutch assembly. The current compression is reading 150 PSI consistently. The original radiator was re-cored with a high cooling capacity copper core keeping the original top and bottom tank with ID tag. The car was fitted with a great sounding big bore sports exhaust system. The car was also fitted with uprated front disc brake system then the entire brake system, dual master cylinder and brake lines and rubber hoses were replaced. All ball joints, tie rods and shock absorbers were replaced. New Dayton stainless steel wire wheels with Bridgestone tires wheels were fitted. There was a complete new wiring harness installed using the original gauges that were rebuilt by Nisonger. The original bumpers and chrome were re-plated. The Navy Blue interior (bright sun makes it look lighter than it is) leather kit by GW Bartlett (OSJI) was installed with a uprated HARTZ navy blue canvas top. The top bow assembly is currently removed to gain an additional 2” of leg room and will be re-installed and comes with the car. The car was shown at several Jaguar concour events and received 98.9 points. The car took several Jaguar event first place trophies. We purchased the car in 2009 after the owner moved from New York to Florida and he lost his garage space. The car was stored in our climate controlled facility since restoration over the winters and then after purchase tucked away in our toy box. The car went to a few car shows but mostly sat here. We went through the car and changed the fuel, oil/filter, spark plugs, brake fluid and installed a new battery anticipating this sale. The car runs perfectly and all devices work as original.This car is ready for a new home.This car is sold with a clear New York properly signed off registration (title). This car is being sold as-is without any warranty or returns accepted. The deposit is non-refundable if the buyer fails to complete the purchase. We can ship this car worldwide or the new owner can pick it up at our shop. You are welcome to come to my shop if you want to look at it in person, look me up at catzauto . com
