1954 Jaguar XK120
Registration no. JUH1
Chassis no. S661172

Odometer Reading: TBA
MoT Expiry: Exempt

This XK120 has a competition air and features numerous styling and mechanical tweaks. The aluminium body has been de-seamed and features bonnet louvres, aero screens and a 'Monza' fuel cap. The red paintwork is reported to be good. The black interior features well-trimmed leather bucket seats and a smaller steering wheel, and is in good condition. Our vendor says the engine was reputedly built to 'fast road' specification, but this cannot be confirmed, but they do report it goes well and sounds fantastic.
