Jaguar - XK120 ROADSTER - 1952

Jaguar XK 120 from 1952. The Jaguar XK 120 is an icon of sports cars from the 20th century. Its elegant style is the work of Sir William Lyons and its XK six cylinder 3. 4 litre double camshaft engine is a marvel of power and flexibility at every speed, part of the reason why the XK 120 was the fastest car in the world at its time! In a superb state of restoration faithful to its origin and near competition condition, this roadster drives any distance perfectly. This model is from 1952 which is presented in a red livery on a black leather interior. A complete file documents the history of this vehicle from its origin and the recent restoration by a recognized specialist. This car was delivered to the USA where it was transformed in 1952 by a specialised garage to meet the requirements of its first owner in order to improve the cargo volume. The right front wing therefore holds the spare tyre and the left wing can hold a soft travel bag. We also learned that the vehicle used to belong to an actor, that it was featured in a reference publication on the XK, and also that it won an elegance award in Toronto in 2004.
