The XK120 offered here is one such, having been extensively upgraded by Fender Broad Classic Cars, one of the acknowledged leaders in the field.

'YXG 995' underwent a 'last nut and bolt', 'body off' chassis restoration by Fender Broad some three years ago to 'fast road' specification. The project was managed by the renowned XK specialist Guy Broad, with services supplied by all the very best Jaguar XK service providers. Originally left-hand drive but converted to right-hand drive at that time, the car incorporates a five-speed gearbox, disc brakes, bucket seats, improved cooling system, and a handling package to make it both striking to view and engaging to drive (paperwork and bills on file). Following completion, the XK was registered in December 2014 as 'YXG 995'. Offered with current MoT and a V5C document, this stunning XK120 is ready to enjoy.

Car now offered at:

www.carandclassic.com/make-an-offer/1952-jaguar-xk120-se-45v6z8

1952 Jaguar XK120 SE

Sensitive upgrades include disc brakes and C-Type seats

Engine rebuild by Sigma Engineering in 2024

Fabulous period colour scheme

Presented in right-hand drive

Desirable SE specification

Bradford-on-Tone, Somerset, UK

This is an SE model, boasting more power, a dual exhaust system and firmer suspension for improved roadholding. It was originally sold in the USA by the official Jaguar distributor, Hoffman. Later imported to the UK, it underwent a full restoration by Guy Broad in 2014-15, when it was also converted from left- to right-hand drive. The seller has owned the car since 2017, and has always kept it in a garage.

The black paintwork and chromework present exceptionally well, and benefit from an April 2026 refresh, including polishing. The car is fitted with centre-lock stainless steel wire wheels, with nearly-new tyres, and features a louvred bonnet and screen mirrors. It also benefits from disc brakes, sand-cast 2-inch carburettors and a stainless steel exhaust system, and comes with weather equipment and a fitted winter cover.

The deep red leather interior benefits from adjustable C-Type bucket seats and three-point harnesses, providing greater support.

Benefits from a recent exterior refresh and an engine rebuild in 2024. The car comes with a Production Record Trace Certificate from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, issued in 2017.

This beautiful and sensitively upgraded example of the stunning XK120 is ready to be enjoyed – and admired – right away.
