⚙️ Powertrain & Performance
This stunning 1953 Jaguar XK120 Roadster is powered by its 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six, equipped with dual SU carburetors and paired to a four-speed manual transmission. During a comprehensive refurbishment completed between 2000 and 2001, the engine received a B-type cylinder head and was bored .030″ over, ensuring smooth power delivery and authentic performance. True to its heritage, power is sent to the rear wheels, and stopping is managed by four-wheel drum brakes.
🏆 Design & Features
Finished in silver with a two-tone blue leather interior, this XK120 exudes timeless British elegance. The body retains signature features such as the split front windshield, chrome bumpers with bumperettes, and 16-inch chrome wire wheels with knock-off hubs. The interior has been reupholstered in blue leather with matching carpets and door panels, complemented by Smiths gauges, a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, and lap belts. A blue soft top accompanies the car, though it has rarely been raised in recent years.
📜 Ownership & History
Acquired by its current owner in 1959, this example has been lovingly maintained for over six decades. It underwent a meticulous refurbishment between 2000–2001, with service records documenting the work performed. Approximately 45,000 miles have been added during current ownership, and the odometer now shows 5,000 miles (rolled over).
🏁 Summary
This 1953 Jaguar XK120 Roadster represents one of the most iconic British sports cars ever built, combining classic styling, refined engineering, and long-term single ownership. Beautifully finished in silver over blue leather, it’s a superbly maintained, collector-grade example ready to grace any classic car collection or vintage rally event.
