1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster

Auction Auburn Spring, April 25, 2026

VIN F28308

Final year of the XK120

Attractive colors; dark red paint draped on its flowing body lines  

Accompanied by a soft top, side windows, and rear fender skirts

A harmonious blend of beauty, innovation, and performance

Offered from the final production year of the sensational Jaguar XK120, is this 1954 example. As of one the most recognizable British automobiles to be produced; the flowing body lines are draped in a dark red paint that properly blends with the black convertible soft top and full-size wheel covers wrapped in blackwall tires. 

Under the bonnet lies a 3.4-litre dual-overhead cam inline six-cylinder engine that made these models so famous. Paired with a four-speed manual gearbox, it becomes a refined driving automobile that offers a memorable experience.

Accompanying this Jaguar are rear fender skirts, matching black side windows, a tool roll, and spare wheel tucked in the trunk. A true expression of Jaguar’s postwar brilliance, this XK120 offers an ideal opportunity to experience one of the most celebrated sports cars of its era exactly as intended, open, engaging, and unmistakably elegant.

This 1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster is an absolutely stunning, final year example that was the beneficiary of a concours-caliber frame-off restoration. The 3,442cc Twin-Cam straight 6 is mated to a 4 speed manual transmission that makes this British sports car an absolute thrill to drive. Exhaust exits this Jaguar's formidable 50s powerplant via a dual exhaust setup, producing a charming rumble out of the rear chrome-tipped tailpipes. Riding on a set of 6.00H16 Blackwell tires mounted on color-matched steel wheels with beauty rings and Jaguar emblazoned hubcaps, this 1954 Jaguar has an outstanding period-correct look. Stopping power is generated from dual master cylinders feeding hydraulic drum brakes that makes for a much more reliable braking system than what is often seen in cars of this vintage. The black cloth "hood" as its known across the pond (otherwise known as the convertible top) is in wonderful condition and provides protection from the elements should you need it. This XK120 Roadster is also outfitted with rear removable side curtains and fender skirts, providing both utilitarian usefulness as well as some in-period flair. The boot (trunk) is nicely detailed and surprisingly roomy, housing a spare tire and the optional tool kit should you need them. A pair of chrome mirrors sit atop the front fenders so that you can better see down the sides of this gorgeous Jaguar. The body of this Jaguar convertible has been refinished in beautiful Damson Red paint that completes the exterior look of this British sports car. The interior of this 1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster is wonderful! The divided bench seat has been reupholstered in black leather that provides a terrific contrast to the exterior of this XK120 Jaguar. The matching door panels, black carpeting, and four-spoke steering wheel are all in great shape as well while retaining a great stock appearance. Mounted below the dash-mounted rear-view mirror is a full array of Smiths instrumentation including a 140 MPH speedometer, 6,000 RPM "rev counter" (tachometer), temperature gauge, ammeter and fuel gauge, as well as a clock.

In 2023 the car was listed at the below seller. Note the VIN 674725 and body F6991 provided. It is possible the below description applies to a different that car, however the photos in the listing included the data plate that states the described car is 675526 body F7803:

diversionmotors.com/304360/1954-Jaguar-XK120

Seller's description Chassis No. 674725 found on the front crossmember. Body No. F6991

Price $89,000

This OTS roadster was purchased by its last owner in 1981 (as shown on the title). It was in rough shape and in need of a total restoration. A comprehensive, multi-year effort commenced involving several specialty shops and countless hours of the owner’s labor. Every part was removed, reconditioned, or replaced. A donor car was purchased as well. All mechanical systems were rebuilt, hides were cut for the interior, new wiring was installed, and so much more. Note the car is titled by its engine number which can be seen on both the block and the head. This also matches the information plate, though the chassis and body numbers do not.

The finished product was well worth the effort. The car received a first-in-class at its inaugural concours event in 1987. It followed this up with many other awards and accolades, and was reportedly a favorite of designer Brooks Stevens at his shows. It was also used for the XK120 entry in the Great Book Of Sports Cars (included). Many judging sheets come with the car including those from its last formal showing in 2007.

Today the car remains a real gem. The design absolutely flows from that gorgeous front grille to the distinct taillights. The paint retains a great shine though there are some fine scratches and a few very small chips. All the brightwork looks terrific including the bumpers and wheel trim rings. The folding / removable soft top frame and material are also excellent. Between the top and the wheel spats, this XK120 can have several dramatically different looks.

The engine is Jaguar’s 3.4L I6 rated at 160 hp. This revolutionary XK platform was also introduced in 1949. With an aluminum alloy cylinder head and dual overhead camshafts it was decades ahead of the competition; how long did it take for Detroit to adopt such technology? The basic design remained in Jaguars through 1987 which is a real testament to its engineering. This car’s dual SU carburetors and exhaust manifolds look great under the hood, but the real pleasure is all that great noise as you accelerate through the 4-speed Moss gearbox. There is a full dual exhaust system as well.

The black interior received all new leather at restoration. This was not ordered from some catalog, but rather was cut from hides using an original interior as a pattern. Everything is in remarkable condition; you would never imagine the restoration was 40 years ago. All the Smiths gauges work properly though the tachometer needs a little thump to start turning. The lights, horn, heater, turn signals, and parking brake all work as well, though the windshield wipers do not. There is a folding convertible top with side curtains along with a brown leather cockpit cover with zipper. Finally, there are a proper tool kit and service manuals as shown.

After having sat idle for a few years, this Jaguar has recently been returned to service. The brakes received a new master cylinder and several wheel cylinders, and were properly bled. The rear suspension received new bushings. The valve cover gaskets, oil gauge line, and unique 6V batteries were all replaced. The carburetors were also serviced. Note the car does have a few minor leaks, and the Dunlop 6.00H16 tires and tubes are quite old; we can assist the next owner with replacement using their choice of brand and construction.

This attractive example has a lot to offer. The older restoration has held up well, still showing off those sumptuous lines while offering a delightful ride. It is what old Jaguars are all about.
