ABOUT THIS VEHICLE
Introduced in 1948, the XK120 quickly earned international recognition for its elegant styling and impressive performance. Its name referenced its claimed 120-mph top speed, making it one of the fastest production cars in the world at the time. With its long hood, sweeping fenders, low windshield, and open cockpit, the XK120 established a timeless design that would influence generations of Jaguar sports cars.
This example is powered by Jaguars renowned 3.4-liter inline-six engine, rebuilt by Gaswerks Garage and showing just 165 miles since completion. The original four-speed manual transmission has been replaced with a five-speed manual, providing an additional gear for more relaxed cruising and improved usability on modern roads.
The car has also received a front disc-brake conversion, along with a complete overhaul of the braking system. Gaswerks Garage refreshed the cooling system and added an electric auxiliary fan to support consistent operation. A stainless-steel exhaust system with a stainless-steel muffler enhances durability while preserving the distinctive character of the Jaguar powertrain. Lap seat belts have also been installed for added security.
This XK120 retains its original wheels with hubcaps, along with its original spare wheel, jack, tool kit, and books. Combining timeless presentation and historical importance with carefully selected mechanical improvements, this 1950 Jaguar XK120 Roadster offers a rewarding vintage driving experience with added confidence and usability on todays roads.
