Description

FOR SALE as a project, 1952 Jaguar XK120 SE FHC LHD, full numbers matching with rare and valuable Type C head. In the description below there is over £75k of invoices from the best XK companies in the business such as Guy Broad, Twyford Moors, Leaping Cats and Coventry Auto.

I have 1, 000s of photos of rebuild and videos of car running and driving before I started the project. I’m not aware of any significant missing parts. I can arrange transport of car and all parts to anywhere in UK. I am looking for offers over £30k. Car is in Wiltshire and can be viewed upon request. My contact details;
