Sellers description:
Car Condition: Original

The original color was Cream with Cinammon interior and has been changed over the years to Old English White. Also, a very good sound body, all matching numbers, comes with spats which are still cream color which is the original paint color (but they are off of the car). This Jaguar comes with the original keys and the glove box locks. This car needs esthetics only, unless you want to make this into a show car, then it is a great candidate for full body restoration. The car runs and drives well and has the original radiator in good working order. This Jaguar generates 160 HP at 5400 RPM and 195 Ft. lbs. of Tourque at 2500 RPM.

1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe

This original left-hand-drive example was built on February 20, 1952, shipped to Los Angeles, and then sold new via Charles Hornburg's famous West Coast Jaguar Distributorship. Its previous owner of nearly 50 years purchased the car in the Seattle area and then took it with him to California and Texas during his tenure. After the previous owner parted with it in 2009, its new owner commissioned a two-year, complete, body-off, nut-and-bolt restoration, which was performed by Brian Anderson's Classic European, of Vista, California, and just completed in April 2013.

Three months later, in July, the XK120 was shown twice and awarded Second in Class at the Dana Point Concours d'Elegance and Second in Class in championship-level judging at the San Diego Jaguar Clubs North America Concours d'Elegance. These successful outings were followed by an appearance at the prestigious 2013 Quail Motorsports Gathering in August.

The current owner has subsequently invested a great deal of time and money into this Jaguar so that it would perform on the road just as well as it did on the concours field. Two cracked brake drums were replaced, as was a broken hood release cable, and the telescoping steering wheel was adjusted for proper operation. In addition, the underside has been more thoroughly detailed, including such work as the removal and painting of the fuel tank.

It remains impeccably finished in its original exterior color of Cream over a Shell leather with contrasting black piping interior, and it has been tastefully equipped with steel wheels, rear-wheel spats, two pieces of custom-fitted luggage, and an original set of driving lamps. Also included is removable auxiliary electric fan, which ensures cool running. Additional items accompanying the car include a complete tool kit, the original grease gun and foot pump, a reproduction owner's operating instruction manual, a restoration book with receipts, and a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate. This genuine, matching-numbers Fixed Head Coupe is a relatively rare and particularly elegant example of one of the greatest post-war sporting cars ever conceived.

Sold for $154,000
