for sale
Price: US $94,499.00
Price: US $94,499.00
I am pleased to offer this 1953 Jaguar XK120 OTC Roadster.
(Open two seat).
In the original stunning Cream White with Red
interior & black canvas weather soft top & side curtains. It also
retains its original Jaguar knock off wire wheels.
Conceived as a low-volume model, the
XK120 Roaster proved considerably more popular than expected, with the result
that the expensive-to-produce, ahs-framed alloy coachwork was replaced by steel
after 240 cars had been completed, though, as with this car presented, the
bonnet (hood) , doors, and boot lid (trunk lid) remain aluminum.
This car's heart was, of course, is
the fabulous XK engine. Conceived in wartime, the 3.4 litre “six” embodied the
best of modern design, boasting twin overhead camshafts running in an
aluminum-alloy cylinder head, seven main bearings and a maximum output of
160bhp. When installed in the lightweight XK120, the result was a car with a
phenomenal power-to-weight ratio and blistering performance.
The “120” referred to
the car's top speed, any doubts about the claims veracity being swiftly
banished when a standard XK120 achieve a top speed of 126.4 mph with hood and
side screens erected and 132.6 mph minus its weather protection. The XK120 set
new standard of comfort, road holding, and performance for British sports car
and, in keeping with the Jaguar tradition, there was nothing to touch it at the
price.
