1952 JAGUAR XK120 Fixed head coupé

Attention all classic car enthusiasts and rust-haters!

In a few months, this Jaguar XK120-FHC will rise from the ashes… or rather from its complete strip-down! Like all her cousins from across the Atlantic, she's demanded the full works: taken apart down to the last bolt, buckets of sweat and a budget in "best not to ask" mode.

The result? A one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

The price? Well, it's not a raffle.

If the adventure intrigues you, know that you can come and see the beast mid-transformation (by appointment, of course – we're not running a zoo). You'll see exactly where every euro and every hour of graft has gone.

Technically speaking: everything that goes "vroom vroom" has been restored to original spec (except the ignition system, it's earned its retirement).

Aesthetically: gone is that slightly tired period look, replaced by a modernised bodywork, a refreshed interior and lighting that doesn't belong in the Stone Age. The Jaguar's soul remains intact, but with a proper rejuvenation treatment.

To follow this spectacular transformation, photos and videos are available on my blog and YouTube channel, with all the details, including the moments where you wonder "what on earth was I thinking?".

So, tempted by a gem that combines vintage charm with modern-day reliability?
