Vehicle Description

1952
Jaguar XK120 OTS ("Open Two-Seater"). It is finished in iconic
British Racing Green paint over an Old Biscuit colored leather
interior and has undergone a total body-off restoration. This
legendary Jaguar is stunning in person and looks as though it has
just rolled off the assembly line in Coventry. Perhaps as
important, this is a tour ready Jaguar needing nothing to be
enjoyed. We have applied for the Jaguar/Daimler Heritage
Certificate for this car and will be updating the information on
earlier history once it is known. On June 8, 2003, this car was
acquired by a Jaguar specialist in Scottsdale, Arizona where the
aforementioned body-off restoration took place. This painstaking
process of body off, nut and bolt restoration took three full years
to complete. The result is excellent. In August of 2006, the Jaguar
went on to a large classic car collection in Baberton, Ohio where
it was proudly displayed until March 19, 2010, when John Tulloch
acquired it. Mr. Tulloch is an avid car collector and enthusiast
based in both Illinois and Arizona. He enjoyed this Jaguar on tours
through Arizona, always finding it as reliable as it is gorgeous.
The British Racing Green livery on this car is in excellent
condition with very few minor blemishes. In direct sunlight, it
shines beautifully and has the wonderful deep luster that this
color is known for. The chrome trim pieces are in wonderful
condition (as to be expected after such a restoration) and
highlight the details of this beautiful car. This example also
comes with its black canvas convertible top and side curtains that
look great and are easy to attach. There are some expected
scratches on the side insert windows due to storage. The
split-windshield creates a cool, period-correct look to an already
sexy car and creates an undistorted, commanding view of the road
ahead. The "Old Biscuit leather interior is in overall excellent
condition. The leather is soft and supple and is complimented with
deep, soft matching carpets. The light and elegant looking interior
creates a stunning contrast to the more understated exterior. The
factory steering wheel comes complete with the original Jaguar logo
encased in an orb that immediately demands your attention while
every other touch point, such as the gear lever and hand brake,
work well with excellent engagement feel. The 3.4 liter inline-six
starts right up hot or cold and idles smoothly. The bellowing, deep
growl that these engines are so revered for is omnipresent and it
is particularly amplified higher in the rev range. Delivering 160
hp complimented with excellent midrange torque, it is an absolute
joy to drive. There is an inherent, awesome mechanical feel to this
car that needs to be experienced. The four-speed transmission
engages into every gear easily and faithfully, and clutch operation
is exceptionally smooth and progressive. At speed, this Jaguar is
stable and confident making the 120-mph top speed claim by Jaguar
themselves (hence XK120) easily believable. This car comes with the
factory Black canvas top, side curtains, and tan canvas tonneau
covers as well as a custom ordered car cover. It is also complete
with the factory toolkit, jack, crowbar, and spare tire.
Additionally, this Jaguar will come with a large file of service
receipts, an original owners handbook and the forthcoming Jaguar
Heritage Certificate.
