for sale

Price: US $75,000.00

Description:

*** This 1953 XK 120 Roadster Is Located In Villanova, PA, 19085, about 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia *** Not in Lumberton, NJ *** I am listing this Jaguar for my good friend, along with his 1950 XK 120 roadster (similar story) in the future.
Please understand... this is a great XK 120 Roadster for the end user, I am not looking to wholesale it. Sorry, I do not have any $35K or $40K XK 120 projects, needing everything, at this time.
Here is a 1953 XK 120 roadster needing some TLC from sitting. With a few, little, issues that someone with minimal skill can easily sort out. There are a lot of new parts on this XK120 and much money has been spent. This XK120 was stored immediately (about 6 years ago), after being completely serviced, rebuilt carburetors, a new wire harness, brake system overhaul, suspension work, chrome wire wheels, tires, a complete new interior, top and boot, along with many other new parts... On an original, straight, factory, car!
She started right up, from my jump box, on the old fuel. She runs quiet with no bad engine noises. The front carburetor is now leaking out of the overflow, I have a replacement float or it might be the needle and seat?
An extremely solid, XK 120 with no major restoration needed. Again, a straight, true car. She still retains the leather gaiters on the rear leaf springs. Mostly needing TLC from sitting and a few minor fixes: incorrect clamps, screws, exhaust, a couple of other little things incorrect or missing. No tools or jack are present.
This XK120 Jaguar is a very presentable driver as is, the chrome is a little weak, but the paint will easily polish up much nicer. Drive her as she is while you make her better.
*** The engine block and cylinder head number (XK120 W) match, *** But Do Not Match The Data Plate *** (the engine in the car now is 823 engine numbers later than the data plate engine #) Factory Replacement? I don't really care but:
Anders Ditlev Clausager at Jaguar Heritage. Anders confirms It was normal in the fifties for the Jaguar works service department to re-condition broken engines taken from customers cars and re-fit them as replacement units in other cars.
The engine number is the VIN on the Pennsylvania title and will be sold as such. This may be a problem for international buyers?
Please call Joe *** 609 - 518 - 0878 *** with any questions *** I will send more pictures if I get your direct e-mail address ***
