This is the opportunity to own a very original XK 120 SE with only 15144 miles. The car had only 2 owners, last owner since 1987. This car had only a new paint 20 years ago the rest is all original and matching numbers. The engine was never opened. The car comes with original wheels and Dunlop tyres. This car is still in perfect condition and runs beautifully with exhilarating performance you'd expect from a 120 SE with 180BHP. This car requires no work. For immediate enjoyment.

Jaguar XK 120 Roadster - Very rare SE version with C-Type head 210 hp - Never restored 16650 original miles only resprayed once - 100% matching numbers

Our highly desirable exemplar is one of the very rare XK 120 SEs with C-Type head of 210 hp. With the chassis number S674789, it was built in 1954 and is part of the last exemplars produced. Sold new in the USA, its first owner immobilized it from 1960 to 1986 before selling it in 1987 with only 13 800 original miles following an ad published in Hemmings Motor News. The car was imported in 2007 perfectly preserved in its original condition. Only resprayed once 30 years ago in its original Old English White, its red interior is still original with its magnificent patinated leathers and its original carpets. The car has never been restored, the chassis has never been taken down, its engine number F1839-8S is still original and never left its compartment. It even still has its original leather-wrapped suspensions blades. It is equipped with front brake discs for obvious safety reasons, its original drum brakes are still available. Today the car shows its original 16 650 miles on the clock. In a rare preservation condition, this authentic XK 120 SE drives as in its early days and the sound of its 3.4 L straight-6 fills you with a captivating sound. Our car will be delivered with its Jaguar Heritage certificate, Operating, Maintenance and Service Handbook from the period, contrôle technique and appraisal value. After a long test-drive in the Riviera countryside and my modest experience it is rare to drive in a 1954 car that is still new with such a perfect alignment and still precise, smooth, without any parasitic noise. Everything is as the factory built it on the chain. Time slightly altered the painting giving shades differences between steel and aluminium parts but the patina and the interior atmosphere are just incredible, I would really like to have my Berluti shoes as well patinated!
