Vehicle description

The Jaguar XK 120 remains one of the true icons of British motoring history. When unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, it was the fastest production car in the world and set new standards with its 3.4-litre straight-six engine.
This particular car was built on October 1st, 1952 and imported in 1953 by renowned Jaguar dealer Charles Hornburg into the USA. It has survived in completely unrestored original condition and stands out with an exceptionally low mileage of just 5,875 miles. Both the paintwork and the Connolly leather interior are exactly as it left the factory – finished in a striking red.
As a rare Special Equipment version, this XK 120 benefits from the uprated 180 hp engine, dual exhaust system and modified suspension designed to safely handle its 210 km/h top speed. The original radio and classic wire wheels complete the authentic period specification.
With comprehensive original documents, the Jaguar Heritage Certificate and fully traceable provenance, this XK 120 SE OTS is an extraordinary rarity. A superb example for discerning collectors, combining authenticity, elegance and historical significance in one of the finest original survivors on the market.
