1954 Jaguar XK120

The XK 120 was Jaguars first sports car since the since the SS 100 was discontinued in 1940. It was offered in two versions, one being the open roadster also, known as the OTS and the FHC also known as the Hard-top. The designation of XK120 was XK being the engine lay out and the 120 being for the cars being tested at 120MPH. The XK120 was the fastest production car in the world for some time. It is also described as one of the most beautiful of the time period as well.

This particular car has been purchased out of a long term ownership estate in Indiana where the car was purchased in the late 1970's where it was enjoyed and carefully driven until 1998 where it was then stored with a collection of vehicles in a climate controlled facility until 2016. The car was then shipped to Northern Michigan where it underwent a mechanical restoration that totaled more than $16,000 in receipts (available upon request). The car from our understanding went through a cosmetic restoration in the late 1970's or early 1980's. The body panels still look very good and presentable. This is now a starting, running, shifting and braking car that is ready for the next owner to add their own touches. Or, just buy it and drive it. The fender skirts are missing as are the side curtains. The soft-top you see is part of the purchase but not sure that was the top that came with it.
