Description

This beautifully restored 1953 Jaguar XK120 DHC delivers an engaging and characterful driving experience. Its low-slung stance, open-top layout and period steering give a direct, analogue feel on winding roads, making each run a rewarding mix of involvement and style. The manual gearbox enhances the connection with the car, while the light, precise controls make it surprisingly composed for its age.

Practical enough for weekend touring, the roomy two-door cabin seats four in classic leather and offers useful luggage space for short trips. Recently restored and converted to right-hand drive, this XK120 is presented ready for commissioning and sympathetic use by a collector or enthusiast.
