Jaguar XK120 OTS RHD 1950
General description :
1950 Jaguar XK120 OTS RHD
Chassis number: 660136
Registration number: TBA
An unusual car in that it was supplied new to the far east Via Brinkman of Singapore & Malaya dispatched from the factory in August of 1950. It was shipped to California in 2002 & repainted in old English White with a burgundy leather interior. Both are in excellent condition. At the time of it arriving in California the car had covered a scant 11,799 miles from new & is now showing just 19,000 miles from new. The car as a whole has a tight taut feel to it with an incredubly crisp engine in perfect runniing order offering really surprising performance along with a sonorous exhaust note.
The car was then purchased by the last German owner who bought it to add it to his collection on account of the very very low miles the car had covered. Side screens for the car are found in a custom made envlope in the boot. Assorted bills come with the car from his tenure where it has clearly been maintained without regard to cost. A brand new split tonneau cover also comes with the car.
This is a very useable car with a light patina of use to the leather & door cards etc.. It has comfortable bucket seats fitted allowing for taller drivers such as myslef at 6ft 3: to fit into it. The original seats have been retained & come with the car. A full black hood is fitted along with spats to cover the orginal pressed steel wheels & a leather bonnet strap. A plaque from Jaguar on the dash board attests to this car being identical to the record breaking car that achieved 132,6 MPH on the Jabbeke straight in Belgium in period.
This car really is a time warp & has a wonderful original feel to it compared to those that have been nut & bolt restored. It has to be driven to be appreciated.

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.
