Roadster
 
This 1952 Jaguar XK120 Special Roadster is an ideal candidate for Rally or Vintage Road Sport. It is one of the world's finest XK120 roadsters having been custom built with a complete frame off restoration and many unique and one-of-a-kind Type C racing features. Engine is adapted to 'Type C' racing specs with larger diameter values and hardened valve seats to accept unleaded fuel. Exhaust is a large diameter stainless steel system; new porcelain headers; large 2-inch 'sandcast' Type C racing carburetors; louvered hood; metal race tonneau cover; complete rally suspension tuning; and Type C alloy race wheels. This car is scary fast and the owner personally verifies that it will easily reach in excess of 120MPH before letting off the throttle. A set of special racing brakes is provided to allow for additional stopping power.

This car was offered for sale at the 2007 Blackhawk Collection at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance with a price tag of $150,000. The car left the weekend under new ownership.
