An absolutely exceptional example of a Jaguar XK120 Coupe, preserved in remarkable original condition.
The car has retained its original 1952 paintwork in metallic silver, an extremely rare color for this model. It is not the most common color in the catalog, but it is the original paintwork, intact, giving the car unparalleled authenticity and patina.
The interior is also original: the leather and carpets have been carefully re-dyed blue, in strict accordance with the materials and finishes of the period, without unnecessary replacement. The whole vehicle is exceptionally well preserved.
Mechanically, the car has undergone a complete rebuild: the engine has been completely rebuilt and all the mechanical parts have been restored by Guy Broad's workshop in Coventry, the benchmark for historic Jaguars.
The car is equipped with a five-speed synchronized gearbox, four disc brakes, and power steering, offering modern features while staying true to the spirit of the model.
This is a vehicle with a unique history: it has had only one owner since it was new.
This Jaguar XK120 is also the subject of a historical book to be published by Skira in June 2026, entitled Jaguar Crush, which traces the complete history of the car, its restoration, and its cultural and mechanical context. The book establishes this vehicle as a heritage object in its own right.
A rare copy, due to its condition, authenticity, history, and editorial recognition, intended for a collector of the highest caliber.
