Lovely bucket seats fitted, complete with side-screens and black soft top, technical review throughout, new steering wheel , underbody and engine cleaned , wire wheels, spare wheel in trunk and service check all into details with invoice of maintenance and Heritage Certificate of Jaguar present.

The colour combination is also very tasteful and stylish, the body is painted in red exterior with a lovely shine and black leather interior. The XK 120 comes complete with side-screens and tonneau cover. A very nice classic combination. The colour is not its original colour; the car used to be bronze exterior with biscuit and tan leather interior and hood when it was built in 1951.

The car is part of a great collection! The car is a blast to drive. Engine has a beautiful sound, it accelerates great, drives and shifts smoothly and has a responsive steering. It is registered in Germany on German numberplates.

Enjoy this wonderful car which is ready to rally and tour.
