It's been 76 years since the first Jaguar XK120 was offered to the public. Yet, when you experience driving one of these cars, it feels as timeless as ever. Originally, it came as an open two-seater and a fixed head coupe. Later, they added a drop head coupe option. The Jaguar XK Coupe had a straight six-cylinder engine with twin SU carburetors, producing about 160hp. A special equipment version was also available giving 20hp extra.

Exterior: The Jaguar XK120 Coupe 1952 looks stunning in black. To make it stand out and look a bit racier, the spoke wheels were painted in red.

Underneath the car looks as nice as it does on top. The entire frame has been painted and is 100% free from rust and sticky rust protection.
