Restored 1953 Jaguar XK120 FHC

The vehicle is a meticulously restored 1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupé. Known for its distinctive aerodynamic design, this classic British sports car features a sleek silhouette with elegant curves and a rounded rear inspired by aircraft engineering, reflecting Jaguar's racing heritage from the era. This particular model year introduced an innovative one-piece windshield and wraparound bumpers, providing a unique road presence even among other XK120 variants. Its powerful inline-six engine, originally producing around 160 horsepower, is complemented by a manually operated four-speed manual gearbox for a truly engaging driving experience. The Fixed Head Coupé body style adds an element of exclusivity to this classic vehicle, as it was less common than the Roadster version. Despite its age, the car boasts remarkable performance capabilities, with original test data showing a top speed of over 120 mph and acceleration from 0-60 mph in under nine seconds – impressive standards even by today's standards. This well-preserved example showcases Jaguar's pioneering spirit during its formative years, making it both a valuable historic artifact and an enjoyable motoring experience.
