One of the most iconic sports cars in automotive history, the Jaguar XK120, began as a streamlined stop gap design built to highlight Jaguar’s new twin-cam six-cylinder engine. When it debuted at the 1948 London Motor Show it was considered an immediate success. With a reported top speed of 120 mph and an elegant sleek design, demand for Jaguar’s new automobile soared and the XK120, Jaguar’s first post-war sports car, was officially born.

1952 Jaguar XK120, chassis # 670820, is an excellent example of a numbers matching vehicle that has undergone a complete top-quality restoration. The exterior red finish highlights the classic curves of Jaguar design brilliantly. On the interior, the biscuit-colored upholstery compliments the exterior color and highlights the design of the cockpit exceptionally well. Under the rear deck lid, the trunk upholstery is in the same condition as the interior. Both the exterior and interior features of this car are considered by the consignor to be in excellent condition.
