Description

1953 Jaguar XK 120 SE DHC Chassis No. S677050, Engine No. S677050 Birch Grey with Tan Interior One of the 1950s most iconic motor cars, the Jaguar XK series have always a strong following. With a growing numbers of shows, clubs, and events catering to these cars, they continue to be in demand. This is a particularly outstanding, matching numbers example, sold new with the special equipment package, and having just finished a complete restoration in 2005. Since the restoration was completed, the car has achieved 99.0, and 99.8 points respectively at the two JCNA and SCCA shows it has been entered in. Believed to have been sold new through Jaguar of Monterey, California, the present owner bought it there as a used vehicle 23 years ago. In 2005 a full cosmetic and mechanical restoration was completed. XKs Unlimited completed the motor and gearbox rebuilds, and assembled the chassis and body components. Mike Wilson restorations picked things up from here, trimming the interior, completing the body and paint work, and fully detailing the car to show standards. Currently the odometer shows 38,923 miles, and the car has completed 500 miles since the restoration was finished. With the exception of one small tear in the headliner fabric, the interior is like new having just been restored. The leather, dash wood, carpet, interior chrome, and door jams are all impeccable- showing no signs of use. The car has seen an extremely high quality repaint in its original color and has no chips or scratches of any significance. A new canvas top has been fitted, along with new gasketing at all seams. Body fit and door shut are excellent. The exterior chrome and window glass are near perfect. The trunk has been fully restored with new carpeting and upholstery, restored jack and spare wheel. The engine compartment is extremely nicely detailed, with polished aluminum valve covers and float bowls. The wiring harness has been restored to factory standards, and the window washer bottle is present, and in excellent condition. With the car comes the original manual, tools and tool roll, jack and ratchet, Heritage Certificate #8401- confirming this as a matching numbers car, original XK120 sales brochure, all invoices and restoration notes, and a photo documentary from XKs Unlimited and Mike Wilson restorations, and several sets of extra keys.
