Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Hub caps and trim rings, Dunlop tires, fender skirts, dual wing mirrors, Lucas driving lights, cloth boot cover, reproduction fitted luggage, period correct jack and spare.

Condition

Delivered new in the US, as so many XK 120s were, and formerly owned by a JCNA concours judge. Aged but sound chrome. Old, detail scratched paint. The tires look a little old and dry and the panel gaps are uneven but not terrible. Smudges on the boot cover. Good, lightly worn interior with clean wood. Clean underneath. It received a high quality restoration, but that was many years ago and it is now in just driver condition. It's still ideal for tours and events.

Market commentary

Jaguar introduced a Drophead Coupe version of the XK 120 in 1953. Distinguished by its roll-up windows and more comprehensive top, it's the rarest of the XK 120 family with fewer than 1,800 built. Freshly restored ones can be six-figure cars, but this isn't a freshly restored 120 and the reported high bid was a fair one. Bonhams sold it at Quail Lodge a dozen years ago for $95,940, a generous price at the time and something the consignor shouldn't expect to match today.
