Jaguar XK120 SE FHC 1953 – For Sale

This Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupé is an original UK, right-hand-drive car. It is also a Special Equipment model, although it now appears to be fitted with steel wheels and spats, which may have been specified from the factory.

The car was first sold by Henlys Ltd of London to Guy Anthony “Tony” Vandervell, also of London. Mr Vandervell was best known for the Vanwall F1 team, but he also had a closer connection to Jaguar. Vandervell Products designed and manufactured “Thinwall” bearings, which helped revolutionise engine production and were used in XK engines. It is also understood that he was friends with Lofty England.

This XK120 is offered as a complete, rolling restoration project. The engine can be started, and we have had it running, although the car cannot currently be driven due to an issue with the fuel tank. The car is complete and would make an ideal project for a home restorer. It is solid, complete and ready for a new life.

We have given the car a full inspection and can provide a potential buyer with guidance on the work required to get it back into driving condition. Please get in touch for more information.
