1951 Jaguar XK120 for sale! Motorcar Classics is pleased to present this stunning 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster, chassis number 671529. It is a beautifully restored example of one of the most iconic sports cars of its era.

The cabin showcases red leather upholstery on the seats, door panels, and padded dashboard, along with matching carpets. The instrumentation includes a reverse-sweep tachometer and a 140-mph speedometer. The restoration also involved stripping the body to bare metal and refinishing it in white, while the frame was stripped and finished in black. Mechanical updates include dual SU carburetors and polished camshaft covers for the engine. This classic roadster represents an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of automotive history that combines elegance, performance, and a meticulous restoration.
