Auction description:

1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster
LOT: 136
Chassis No. 671615
Offered Without Reserve

Stunning in its original Pastel Green Metallic with dark green leather, this XK120 was restored in the early 1990s. Since then, it has been kept in climate-controlled storage and driven barely 300 miles, so it remains virtually as fresh as the day of its completion. It presents beautifully and is in show-quality condition. Equipped with proper steel disc wheels, it has the spats (fender skirts) that display the body in its purest form.

Originally sold by Hoffman Motor Company on Park Avenue in New York City, the car has a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate. The current owner acquired it several years ago, after it had tied for the 1993 Jaguar Club of North America Challenge Cup in national competition, with a perfect 100-point score. Since that time it has been maintained in a prominent private collection, kept in climate-controlled storage. Recent inspection by the vendor has confirmed this car has its original matching-numbers engine but not the original gearbox.

XK120s are among the most desirable British collector cars, but seldom do they appear in their pure form; collectors have a tendency to “option them up.” This car represents an uncommon opportunity to acquire a completely authentic example, just as though one were shopping in Max Hoffman’s showroom.

• Superb color combination, rear-wheel spats, and steel-disc wheels
• Outstanding restoration

Stunning in its original Pastel Green Metallic with dark green leather, this XK120 was restored in the early-1990s. Since then, it has been kept in climate-controlled storage and driven barely 300 miles, remaining virtually as fresh as the day of its completion. Today, it presents beautifully in show-quality condition, complete with its proper steel disc-wheels and spats, highlighting the rakish body in its purest form.

Originally sold via Hoffman Motor Company (Park Avenue, New York), the car is accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate. In 1993, it tied for the Jaguar Club of North America Challenge Cup in national competition, with a perfect 100-point score. Since restoration, it has been maintained within very well-respected private collections in climate-controlled storage. Prior to being purchased by the current owner, an inspection confirmed that this XK120 retains its original matching-numbers engine but not the original gearbox. Uncommon today, as it is a highly authentic example of the car that singlehandedly redefined sports car design following WW II, this XK120 Roadster is nothing short of superb.
