1953 Jaguar XK 120

1953 Jaguar XK120 Roadster was completed on May 5, 1953 and initially distributed to the US through the Hoffman Motor Company of New York City. The car is finished in Pastel Green over Suede Green leather upholstery and is powered by a 3.4-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. Equipment includes a tan soft top and side curtains, Lucas driving lamps, fender-mounted side mirrors, and 16 steel wheels. The dual SU carburetors were rebuilt and this XK120 comes with a service manual, a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, and a clean Ohio title. Equipment includes a tan soft top and removable side curtains, along with Lucas driving lamps, fender-mounted side mirrors, and a split windshield frame. Color-keyed 16 steel wheels wear chrome trim rings and painted hubcaps, and they are mounted with older Lester Tire Co. whitewall tires that may require replacement. A matching spare is stowed under a shelf in the trunk. The four-spoke steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm reverse-sweep tachometer with an inset clock, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature as well as a Lucas ammeter. The five-digit odometer shows 82k miles. The 3.4-liter inline-six was factory-rated at 180 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Service was performed on the dual SU carburetors, replacing the spark plugs, and changing the oil. Engine number W8347-8 stamped on the cylinder head matches the number that is printed on the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate both the brass commission plate and the engine block. The car runs and drives and is ready for summer driving. Please Note The Following Vehicle Location is at our clients home and Not In Cadillac, Michigan.
