Stunning 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster. This XK120 was treated to a high quality restoration. The car has a gorgeous Pastel Blue Metallic blue paintjob, brilliantly refinished chrome, and a beautiful gray leather interior. It looks beautiful, runs great, and is a pleasure to drive.

This is an excellent opportunity to own a very rare and highly desirable classic Jaguar. According to the Jaguar Heritage Trust only 700 LHD XK120 roadsters were made for 1951. The market on Jaguar XK's is very hot right now, especially for premium examples like this car. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come. There is no way someone could purchase a similar Jaguar and restore it to this level of quality for anything near our asking price. The previous owner said that the restoration was completed in 2014. He also said that when he purchased the car the engine and transmission were still in the crates from being rebuilt. Please peruse all of the photos, video, and other information below to get a true sense of how exceptionally nice this Jaguar really is.

The Pastel Blue Metallic exterior is in beautiful condition. The finish has dazzling gloss, deep shine, and smooth finish. The wheels and spinners are in excellent condition with a great finish and no curb rash. The wide whitewall tires are sized 6.0-16 and have been used sparingly since the restoration and have plenty of tread left. The chrome looks amazing with a bright and brilliant finish. The convertible top is in wonderful condition with no rips, holes, or frayed edges. The side windows are still wrapped up from the restoration and have never been installed on the car. There are no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. There is some slight delamination on the edge of the left windshield glass. This Jaguar is totally solid with absolutely no rust; the bottom of the car is exceptionally clean and almost as nice as the topside.

Interior

The gray interior of the Jaguar looks utterly splendid. The quality of the workmanship and materials is top-notch. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are crystal clear. The seats are in excellent condition with no split seams, rips, or excessive wear. The carpet is also in great condition with no stains, rips, or holes. The interior chrome and bright work are in wonderful shape with a superb finish. The dash is in terrific condition with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The door panels look excellent. This car has not been smoked in; there are obviously no burn marks or aroma of cigarettes what-so-ever.

The trunk is very clean, highly detailed, and well-trimmed with a matching full size spare, matching chrome wire wheel rim, and jack.

Mechanical

This Jaguar XK120 seems to be in good mechanical condition. The 3.4 litre inline six engine starts every time, runs well, and idles smooth. The car drives nicely on the road and at highway speeds. Please note that there are no vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts when you take your time with the shifts, the shifter is tight, and does not pop out of gear. The clutch feels good. The horn works, the right wiper works, but the left needs a hand. The turn signals do not work. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this Jaguar, especially with the top down on a beautiful day.

Known as "Gable 3," this custom 1951 Jaguar XK120 SE had a concours restoration completed in 2025. It is powered by a 3.4-liter dual overhead camshaft inline 6-cylinder engine with approximately 200bhp and dual side-draft SU carburetors all mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. This open two-seater roadster features a one-piece removable top and a torsion bar independent front suspension with semi elliptic rear leaf springs. Renowned customizer John D'Agostino and stylist Woodroe Parker created this tribute to actor Clark Gable, who ordered the very first Jaguar delivered to Hollywood, CA. Gable's XK120 was subsequently customized by George Barris and featured a one-piece padded Carson removable top. The redesigning of this car was done front to rear, with a new lower, more sleek profile. All body modifications were done by Oz Kustoms of Oroville, CA. The top and framework were lowered down 3 inches to match the front windshield and A-pillars, which were also lowered 3 inches and laid back 2 inches. All seams on the all-metal body were molded, and the rear quarters were hand-formed and crowned to match the new hand-formed fender skirts, which were also crowned. Then custom-formed side spears/medallions were fitted with Jaguar emblems.

More than two years were spent perfecting the body and fitment of the doors, hood and trunk to ensure even gaps on the entire body. The cabin is finished in beautiful Silver Blue Pearl and features Swedish leather as well as a crystal ashtray fitted by Divines Custom Interiors. The entire cockpit and interior were lowered and lengthened to match the lower profile of the top.
