This Jaguar XK120 Roadster is a beautifully presented example of the effortlessly elegant classic open-top British sports car, offered from long-term family ownership, and benefitting from previous restorative maintenance. Under the bonnet sits a replacement S-Type-sourced 3.4-litre naturally aspirated straight-six, fed by twin SU carburettors, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This Australian-delivered example has been in the seller’s family for over 14 years. The odometer indicates 72,097 miles, though this is not warranted. This XK120 Roadster is understood to have originally been finished in red, though is now presented in the attractive hue of Pastel Blue Metallic, over a grey leather-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 15-inch body-coloured steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, shod in Vredestein Sprint Classic tyres. The factory specification includes a four-spoke steering wheel, Smiths gauges, door pockets, and side wind deflectors. The car is accompanied by a soft top roof, a jack, a spare wheel, a full tonneau cover, and a copy of ‘The Jaguar XK120 in The Southern Hemisphere’ hardback book with its original storage box. The previously resprayed Pastel Blue Metallic paintwork is said to be in excellent condition, with no notable marks or blemishes. Moving inside, there are imperfections on the rear-view mirror, and minor blemishes and patches of discolouration around the trim, though the cabin presents well overall. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. Notable maintenance includes a previous extensive restoration, and the seller notes that the car has covered less than 200 miles since works were completed. This Jaguar XK120 Roadster is a wonderfully presented example of the beautiful 1950s classic open-top sports car, offered from long-term family ownership, and benefitting from previous restorative maintenance, since which the car has travelled less than 200 miles. Presented in very good condition throughout, with an appealing Pastel Blue Metallic finish over grey leather, and timelessly elegant styling, it would make an impressive addition to any assembly of British classics, and a charming companion for weekend jaunts, fair-weather cruising, and visits to classic car shows alike.
