1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe
Description
Up for Sale this 1952 Jaguar XK120 fixed head coupe is a left-hand drive example. A refurbishment in Old English White over a new red leather interior. Power comes from the original 3.4L straight-six mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox, both of which have been rebuilt during the work in 2009.
Originally Birch Grey, the exterior was refinished in Old English White paint during the refurbishment. Brightwork includes front and rear bumperettes as well as fender-mounted sideview mirrors.
Chrome 16" wire wheels with knock-off hubs are mounted with Kumho tires. Fog lights are fitted to the front bumper.
The interior was reupholstered with red Connolly leather on the seats and door panels. A stock 4-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a telescopically-adjusting column. The headliner is a replacement, and the interior brightwork was refinished or renewed along with the rubber door seals.
The wood-faced dash houses Smiths instruments including a 140 mph speedometer and reverse-sweep tachometer along with a combination gauge showing water temperature and oil pressure. Approximately 31,300 miles are shown on the odometer, with total mileage unknown.
The trunk is also upholstered in leather and features a spare wheel and jack.
The original 3.4L straight-six features an aluminum cylinder head and was originally rated at 160 horsepower. Induction is from twin sidedraft SU carburetors, and a stainless steel exhaust system is fitted. A new clutch kit, wiring loom, and battery were reportedly fitted during the rebuild.
The suspension is comprised of independent torsion bars in the front and semi-elliptical leaf springs in the rear.
The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate lists the original colors and drivetrain numbers. Engine # matches both the chassis plate and the stamping on the engine block.
