About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Uneven panel fit all around. Decent paint quality but plenty of flaws. Masking mistakes with some overspray on the grille edges and Jag badge. Touch up on the back of the hood. Lots of big scratches in a cluster on the middle of the tail. Tired chrome, especially on the windshield frame and taillight bezels. Scratched windshield glass. Good interior overall. Used engine bay and underbody. Plenty of imperfections, but it's hard not to like a white over red XK 120. Restored in the early 1990s and still sound, but nothing more than a 20-foot car and a driver.

Market commentary

Sold by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas in 2013 for $73,700 by its second owner. The result here is ample for a driver quality older restored XK 120 Roadster with plenty of miles since it was restored.
