1950 Jaguar XK120 Roadster

This 1950 Jaguar XK120 Roadster, was the 288th XK120 Roadster built. Prior to this Jaguar being built, William Lyons who founded Jaguar only envisioned to make a production number of 200, with the obsession with the XK120 Jaguar made a decision to increase the production. With very low ownership of this vehicle, it makes this a very special vehicle with documented matching numbers along with world-class restoration. Restored by the Classic Showcase of Southern California, leaving it as a National Champion Roadster claims JCNA shows over the years. A key fact about this vehicle is, the engine was 100 percent rebuilt, but was as accurate as the factory specifications.
