SUMMARY

From long-term ownership, now gently restored and as glamorous as ever featuring in a recent Lush-500 video (Shake Baby Shake).

DESCRIPTION

Jay Leno’s go-to car from his garage for a drive-out is his white Jaguar XK120 Roadster which he’s owned for over forty years. Unfortunately, he doesn’t trump us with this charming example offered here which has come from fifty-four years of single ownership. Residing in East Sussex for most of its life, it was originally registered in Torbay, Devon in November 1950.

We are still awaiting some more details about this Jaguar's recent life but it certainly appears to be in fine fettle. The interior has been retrimmed, the engine bay is very tidy with fresh wiring and the Old English White paintwork may well have been refreshed. It is MOT’d until November 2023 and comes complete with a lovely fitting hood and side screens. Aero screens have been fitted in the past and come with the XK should you require a sportier experience. Please contact the car's consignor for more information.

One thing we do know, is that the car appears in a recent Lush-500 video (Shake Baby Shake) looking every inch the glamourous fifties sports car with the aero screens in place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODdZ4QhnXJI
