A picture of the engine would be nice. Not many triple carbs with RHD, you see.

To drive this 120 is a joy. A peddle box extension allows 190cm+ drivers to sit comfortably. The engine fires and rasps in the unique Weber way. Engage the perfect Broadsport 5 speeds first gear and go. Go as fast as you can or dare. The car simply eats up mile upon mile leaving you thrilled but not shaken when you and your passenger arrive at the Chateau holiday you have promised yourself. Road holding is outstanding and you can take far more speed into corners than you would expect. The car can be encouraged to drift and power slide. It makes you smile. In my case like a little schoolboy. I've driven many but this one is special. It's a Broadsport and that's as good as it gets. The 12 month warranty provides post sale comfort and peace of mind. It doesn't get better.

Chassis number '679941' was supplied new in September 1952 via the Los Angeles Jaguar distributor Charles Hornburg, and originally was finished in black with red leather interior (JDHT Certificate on file). Subsequently the Jaguar returned to the UK where it was converted to right-hand drive and extensively upgraded to BroadSport specification by Fender-Broad. Carried out in 2011, the restoration included fitting a replacement 4.2-litre XK engine. Lightened, balanced, and breathing via 2" SU carburettors, it has been rolling-road tested at 228bhp and 284lb/ft of torque. Other noteworthy features include the following:

Getrag five-speed gearbox

Limited-slip differential

Free-flow stainless manifold and exhaust

Kenlowe electric fan

Aluminium radiator and header tank

Rack-and-pinion steering

Disc brakes all round with upgraded callipers

Adjustable shock absorbers

Poly-bushed suspension

Vredestein tyres

Vented bonnet

Bucket seats

Pedal box extension

Alcantara headlining

Presented in very good condition throughout and offered with a V5 registration document, this extensively upgraded XK120 is ready to delight the fortunate next owner.
