Finished in Pastel Green, this attractive XK 120 Fixed Head Coupé was completed by Jaguar in February of 1953 and is believed to have been delivered new to the United States. Its early history is unknown, until being registered in Turin, Italy in 1980. According to the consignor, it is well-preserved in unrestored condition, still finished in its original colour scheme. Today, it is accompanied by a Certificatdo di Omologazione by the Automotoclub Storico Italiano. It is important to note that the engine block number (stamped W7563-8S, the original block) does not match the stamped number on the cylinder head (NC2271-8).

Presented in attractive colours with charming patina, this would be an interesting acquisition for any enthusiast looking to own one of Jaguar’s most iconic automobile and a true icon of its era.
