Jaguar XK120 OTS 1951
General description :
1946 Jaguar
Chassis Number: 660664
Registration number: UXS 473
A lovely restored example finished in splendid British Racing Green coachwork. To the interior is fine biscuit hide & brown carpets.
A good quantity of bills come with the car showing significant recent expenditure. The car is fitted with an excellent black canvas hood. A useful boot mounted luggage rack is also installed. Up front an after market Kenlowe fan takes care of additional cooling duties.
Twin spot lamps are fitted as are stone guards to the headlamps. A leather bonnet strap keeps the bonnet in its appointed place. Chrome wire wheels with knock-off spinners are fitted all round. A set of harness style seat belts have been installed with a nod to modern safety. A spare is found in the boot along with a hammer for removing the wheel spinners. A full split tonneau cover obscures the cockpit when leaving the car with the roof down.
Overall the car is in very fine condition with a light patina of use giving the car a very authentic & genuine feel. The engine starts readily & pulls strongly in all gears via the original Moss 'box. Indicated mileage since restoration is a scant 2403 miles. It has in recent years formed part of a lage collection of cars at a manor house in Kent where it saw regular but very sparing use.

About Jaguar XK120
The Jaguar XK120 is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful sports cars of the 1940s, and indeed one of the most beautiful cars ever made. It was introduced in 1948 and remained in production until 1954.The XK120 was powered by a 3.4-liter straight-six engine that produced up to 160 horsepower, which was a significant amount of power for a sports car of its time. It was also one of the first cars to feature disc brakes, which gave it impressive stopping power.
But it was the XK120's stunning design that truly set it apart. Its long hood, flowing lines, and sleek curves made it an instant classic, and it was favored by celebrities and racing drivers alike. The XK120 was also available as a roadster or a coupe, further adding to its appeal.
The XK120 was also a successful racing car, winning numerous races and setting several speed records. It was a favorite of racing drivers such as Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio, and helped to establish Jaguar as a major force in international motorsport.
Overall, the Jaguar XK120 was a true automotive masterpiece, combining beauty, performance, and innovation in a way that few cars have been able to match.
