1953 Jaguar XK120, Black with 2,433 Miles available now!

The XK120 was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a test bed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused such a sensation which persuaded Jaguar founder and design boss William Lyons to put it into production. The "120" in its name referred to its 120 mph (193 km/h) top speed (faster with the windscreen removed), which made the Jaguar the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its launch. To meet demand it was necessary for the mass-production versions, beginning with the 1950 model year, to have pressed-steel bodies, but retained aluminium doors, bonnet, and boot lid. The Drophead Coupe was introduced in 1953.
'S667300' came into the present owner's hands in 2016 when the recorded mileage stood at 2,000 (it is assumed that the odometer was 'zeroed' upon completion of the restoration). Forming part of the vendor's large private collection, the car has been mostly displayed and kept in dry, climate controlled conditions. The current mileage total is 2,433.
