THE RAREST OF ALL JAGUAR XK 120'S. THE DROPHEAD COUPE WAS INTRODUCED BY JAGUAR IN APRIL OF 1953. IT WAS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS HAVING THE SOPHISTICATION AND FINISH OF THE FIXED HEAD COUPE AND THE OPEN CAR APPEAL OF THE ROADSTER. THIS CAR IS ESPECIALLY RARE IN THAT IT WAS SOLD WITH THE HIGH PERFORMANCE 'S' MODIFICATIONS . BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED, FINISHED IN INDIGO BLUE WITH TAN LEATHER. THIS CAR IS COMPLETE WITH OWNER'S MANUAL AND TOOLS. IT RUNS AND DRIVES BEAUTIFULLY.

Additional description from Christies auction '98
www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/1954-jaguar-xk120-se-drophead-coupe-1364973-deta ...
1954 JAGUAR XK120 SE DROPHEAD COUPE
Registration Number: Not currently registered
Chassis Number: S678444
Engine Number: 53772-8S
Dark blue with fawn hood and tan leather interior
Built on 15th July 1954, this example would have been one of the last supplied before production of the new XK 140 began, and it was sold new through Hoffman of California, originally with black paintwork and hood with a red interior.
The car has recently returned to the UK from America and has since had some ¨3,500 spent on general sorting to make the car usable: this has included the fitting of a Kenlow fan and refitting of accelerator linkages. It lacks the inner wings and does not carry its original engine, though the engine fitted carries the correct high compression ratio designation '/8'. Offered with the benefit of a new MoT and with all taxes paid, the car is sold Without Reserve.
