The 1953 Jaguar XK120 SE Fixed Head Coupe finished in silver with a black leather interior was offered for sale at the 2006 Worldwide Group Auction held on Hilton Head Island where it was estimated to fetch between $75,000-$100,000. When first constructed it was finished in Baltic grey and had a red leather interior. It was constructed on March 24th of 1953 and its first owner was a resident of West Palm Beach, FL. It was used as a commuter car for a number of years before being sent to the United Kingdom where a restoration was undertaken. It was a participant in the 1990-1992 Pirelli Classic Marathon where it earned sixth in class the first year. The following two years it achieved second in class. In 1994 it was sent back to the United States and prepared for motor sports which included the addition of a roll bar and an engine rebuilt. The period C-type head, increased inlet valve size, and enlarged exhaust gave the vehicle over 200 horsepower. Its third owner campaigned the vehicle in six VSCCA races. Its fourth owner acquired the car in 1996 and had it prepared for the 19999 London to Monte Carlo Rally where suffered two flat tires but still managed to finish 13th in class.
