The Jaguar XK120 Roadster offered here is one of the most important road-going examples to be brought to the market in recent times. This is chassis 675105 which first came to Sweden in the early 90s and is now ready to return home.

This XK120 has been fully maintained by a dedicated technician mechanic over recent years. Work carried out has included a rewire of the electrics and new brakes fitted all round. The 3.4-litre straight-six engine starts on the button and comes with a fresh compression certificate test. Mechanically the car is in fine order but the body needs some TLC to bring the XK120 back to its former glory. This is a great opportunity to finish the restoration yourself and complete the final finish to your own choice of standard.

A former stablemate of some of the world's most important cars, this XK previously belonged to Lord Anthony Bamford and resided in the famous JCB Historic Collection in Gloucestershire for many years. A detailed history file accompanies this extraordinary XK120 Roadster which also starred in the 'Marques of a Legend' video of the mid-1980s.

The E-Type may be Jaguar's most famous model but the XK120 is unquestionably the car that made it all possible. It is without doubt one of the most important British cars of the 20th Century and this is a very fine and highly original example.
