Seller's comments about 1952' Jaguar Xk120
Pavilion Gardens | Buxton, Derbyshire
Viewing: Tues 20th May from 12pm
Auction: Wed 21st May from 9am
Location: St John's Rd, Buxton SK17 6BE
1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster
Entered from the Loch Lomond Collection
Estimate
£55, 000 - £65, 000
Registration No: IG 4253
Chassis No: 671921
MOT: Exempt
Previous ownership in America for over 30 years and only one UK keeper since importation
Frame-off restoration by Sargent Metalworks of Bradford, Vermont (Pebble Beach Winners), which was completed c. 2015
Uprated for fast road or Vintage rallying use, complete with a tuned engine and C-Type cylinder head, louvered bonnet, and Le Mans-style fuel filler cap
Entered from the Loch Lomond Collection, a collection made up of excellent examples of predominantly 1950s, 60s, and 70s classics
Launched at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jaguar XK120 Roadster caused a sensation. Penned by Sir William Lyons, the model's sensuous lines seemed almost impossibly glamorous to a country still feeling the effects of rationing. While the 120mph top speed that its name signified soon became the stuff of legend. Flooded with orders, Jaguar began limited hand-built production soon thereafter (although, it was not until 1950 that the factory was sufficient 'tooled-up' to discard aluminium in favour of steel for the curvaceous bodywork). Credited with 160bhp and 190lbft of torque in standard tune, its legendary 3442cc DOHC straight-six engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission.
