    Seller's description:

    1953 Jaguar XK 120 Fixed Head Coupe Stirling Moss Tribute

    Jaguar Land Rover Classic Deutschland GmbH

    Price USD 89 333

    A stunning XK 120 DHC in the color combination of Green over Cream with a suede interior, featuring matching numbers and complemented by matching chrome wire wheels. This color combination, demonstrably unique in its original production, was inspired by Sir Stirling Moss's XK120 FHC.

    This XK120 FHC was born on February 6, 1953, at the Jaguar factory in Battleship Grey with a red interior. The car was then exported to the USA and delivered and registered to its first owner in Hornburg, Los Angeles, in July 1953. From then until 2014, the car remained in the USA, first in Los Angeles, then in New York, and finally in Montoursville, Pennsylvania.

    The vehicle, including all instruments, switches, etc., was completely disassembled down to the last screw, repaired, and reassembled.

    A true classic with beautiful lines and a powerful engine. Inspected by our experts, it is technically sound and ready to drive.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
