Registry: 1954 Jaguar XK120

Late production 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE OTS Roadster for sale and finished in gorgeous Gloss Black over Red interior. Power comes from its original, number's matching 3442cc DOHC Inline 6 8.0:1 compression engine (#F4033-8S) making an impressive 180 factory rated horsepower, mated to a upgraded Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. It has undoubtedly received a very competent period correct competition-style restoration and drives every bit as good as it looks! It starts easily, all gauges are functional, as well as the wipers, horn, turn signals, interior & exterior lighting, etc. The full running temperature never exceeds 85 degrees Celsius on an extended test drive, and oil strong pressure at idle and under throttle! Clutch engagement is smooth, and braking is reliable and confident under all conditions! It is surprisingly quick and a splendid joy to operate!

This special XK120 SE has been treated to some race-inspired body modifications that include a beautifully louvered hood, lower front fenders, and behind the wheels on the rear quarters to better direct airflow over and around the car while also helping reduce engine compartment temperature. Having been part of our private collection since 2015, it has always been professionally cared for since arrival. Most recently in November 2019, it had its carburetors rebuilt, new brake master cylinder, front brake drums turned, new wheel cylinders, brake hoses/washers installed along with renewed brake fluid (DOT4). The engine oil/filter are changed annually, with new batteries installed in June 2021 along with a new storage disconnect and battery maintainer included. This Jaguar also comes with a custom fitted cloth tonneau cover. Contact Jon Faust at (314) 993-1330 to schedule a test drive. Vehicle is located at St. Louis Car Museum & Sales.
