Sellers description:
1952 Jaguar XK 120. I am listing this for a friend who's father just passed away at age 98. I am sorry that the photos of the car are not better. It is in a storage shed and the lighting was poor. We believe that ever part is there to due a full restoration. As you can see in the photos each box is labeled. He saved the leather so new pieces could be cut. The windshield is there but it is cracked. You can use it as a pattern. Below is the description that the son in law wrote up.

This XK 120 was bought new 8/15/1952 by its current owner and is original with all matching numbers and the original title. The car was driven regularly until the early 1970's when it was placed in covered storage awaiting restoration. In the mid-1980's the owner, a retired engineer at Fairchild Aircraft Manufactures, began restoration. The goal of the restoration was to return the car to driving condition and resume regular use.

The car was disassembled and the work on the mechanicals was undertaken. The engine and transmission were overhauled and returned to full working condition. The brake and suspension were overhauled. All body rust was repaired and the door sills on both sides were replaced. The drivetrain was reinstalled in the body. At that point, in the early 1990's, work was halted due to various personal reasons and the car was returned to covered storage where it has remained until now. The owner has recently died at age 98 and the car is being offered for sale by his estate.

The car is believed to be 100% complete, and except for the replaced sills, is completely original. The body is in excellent condition with most of the original paint mostly intact. While still being driven, the car suffered a minor fender bender and there is damage to the left front fender and front valance. The convertible roof framing is complete, but the canvas has rotted away. The car has the original steel wire wheels but the tires are rotted. The original wooden floor boards are available, along with a new replacement made from epoxy coated marine plywood. A number of reference materials are also available, including shop manuals.

There is also a manual that the owner made up that has drawings of many of the parts on the car and how they are installed. From my observation the floor of the trunk was replaced. I do not know if the car will roll. I would suggest bring wheels with tires and maybe it will roll without much problem.

The car is located in Hagerstown Md.

The Iconic Sale at the BRDC Classic 2026 - Collectors' Cars

1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster - Remarkable Originality

Registration Number VXS 207

Chassis Number 672314

Transmission Manual

Body Colour Lavender Gray

An exceptionally original, matching-numbers example retaining its factory paint and original interior, and benefitting from some £50,000 of specialist mechanical restoration - ready to enjoy.  

According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, this XK120 was supplied through legendary American Jaguar importer Hoffman of New York and dispatched on 17th June 1952. Finished from new in the highly attractive combination of Lavender Grey over Suede Green leather, the car retains a remarkable degree of originality and remains a compelling testament to the quality and durability of Jaguar's early post-war sports cars.

The XK120 was purchased by Carl Llewelyn, a decorated Second World War Fighter Pilot veteran, and remained in his ownership for more than 40 years while residing in Maryland, USA. Cherished and carefully retained throughout his custodianship, the Jaguar stayed with Mr Llewelyn until his passing at the age of 94. Such prolonged single ownership is extraordinarily rare and forms a cornerstone of the car’s exceptional provenance.

Following its time in America, the car passed through the respected Byrnes Motor Trust before being acquired by its current custodian. Recognising the significance of such an original survivor, the decision was made not to undertake a cosmetic restoration, but instead to preserve the car’s remarkable authenticity. The result is a motor car that remains highly evocative of its original specification and presentation, avoiding the over-restored character often associated with concours-restored examples.

Most significantly, the car retains its original paintwork and original leather upholstery, an almost unheard-of distinction among XK120s more than seven decades after production. The leather interior has been sympathetically conserved by specialists at Bicester Heritage, preserving the character, patina and visual integrity accumulated throughout its lifetime while ensuring its long-term preservation.

Beneath the surface, considerable expenditure has ensured the car is equally impressive mechanically. Accompanying documentation confirms that some £50,000 has been invested in expert restoration and recommissioning works in the current ownership. The engine and gearbox were recommissioned by Knight Engineering, while the chassis, suspension and running gear were comprehensively restored and detailed to a high standard. The only major component replaced was the original steel fuel tank, which had deteriorated with age and was replaced with a correct replacement aluminium unit.

The XK remains matching-numbers throughout, with its identity and specification confirmed by the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and original registration documentation. In addition to its original State of Maryland title, the car is offered with a UK V5C registration document and a substantial history file detailing its ownership, preservation and mechanical restoration.

For collectors who value authenticity above perfection, chassis #672314 represents a genuinely rare opportunity. Combining long-term ownership, remarkable originality, matching-numbers status and extensive sympathetic recommissioning, this outstanding XK120 stands as one of the most honest and compelling examples of the model available today. Equally suited to the world’s most prestigious preservation-focused concours events and enjoyable road use, it presents as a highly credible contender for the coveted Pebble Beach Preservation Class and a wonderful ambassador for Jaguar’s sporting heritage.
