When Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons introduced the XK120 at the Earl's Court Motor Show in 1948 it was an instant success. It was the fastest production car available in the world at the time! The beautiful & quick 120 captured imaginations world wide and remains so today. Clark Gable owned 3 120's! The car was dubbed the XK120 because it tops out at 120 MPH. Surprisingly, only 7500 total XK's were produced through all the years making this a fairly rare cat.
This XK has undergone a total off the frame restoration including, new paint, new leather interior, a total re-chrome, new top, tires, steel wheels, chaps, leather bonnet strap, new aluminum radiator, rebuilt gages, new wire harness & a complete rewire, & total engine rebuild. It has seen less than 300 miles since completion.
Period correct XK140 engine which is more desirable that the 120 engines and makes this more attainable for the private enthusiast. This vehicle has been housed in a dry heated garage & has never seen rain or snow. It starts right up & runs & drives well. This is a head turner.
