1954 Jaguar XK-120 Drophead Coupe

  • Chassis Number: F31708S
The XK engine would become the mainstay of all future Jaguar products over the next six decades. It would carry Jaguar to five Le Mans 24 Hour victories between 1951 and 1957.

This particular car is an XK 120 SE model, fitted with C-Type cylinder heads. It has had an extensive ground-up, nut-and-bolt professional restoration and the engine has been upgraded beyond original specifications, now producing an estimated 300 horsepower. It is a matching numbers example, finished in Signal Red with a beige leather interior, rides on wire wheels, has wide whitewall tires, and there are dual exhausts.

In 2009, this XK 120SE Roadster was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Arizona auction presented by RM Auctions in Scottsdale, Arizona. The lot was estimated to sell for $80,000-$100,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for $84,700, including the buyer's premium.
