Description
1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe
This stunning XK was manufactured in December 1952 as an LHD and exported to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, there even is a Heritage certificate to confirm that. It was bought in 2014 by a private collector who then spent the next seven years restoring the car alongside a fleet of other cars and various projects.
The benefit of buying a car from Brazil, was virtually no rust damage. However, the current owner stripped everything back to bare metal then repainted, re bushed and rebuilt all of the suspension with new shock absorbers. A rebuilt engine was bought and a close ratio gearbox was sourced from the US and rebuilt along with a rear axle, new wheels, hubs, high power electronic ignition, refurbished radiator, new alloy petrol tank and pipes for petrol and brakes.
The body was resprayed in a dark metallic blue and refitted to the chassis and rewired with a new loom and new interior.
This tastefully modified, fantastic example is on the button and looking for a new owner to enjoy. The car has a NOVA certificate and fresh MOT. The V55 registration application has just been sent off to the DVLA so we are awaiting the UK V5 registration from them.
Viewing by appointment only at our West London showroom.
