1953 Jaguar XK120 Hardtop Coupe

  • Chassis Number: S 681124
  • Engine Number: W 82438S
This Jaguar is finished in its original pastel green paint. This XK120 M was discovered in 2013 having been in single family car for over 58 years. The current owner acquired the car and began, in early 2014, an intensive refurbishment. This special fixed head coupe has been a California car since it was first retailed by Charles Hornburg Jaguar in Los Angeles in 1953. It spent many years in dry storage.

This XK120 M is one of just 421 examples manufactured for export in 1953, with as few as 30 sharing this unrestored example's color and options.
