Description

1953 Jaguar XK120 FHC 3. 4

Chassis Number: 680962

Registration Number: SG6612 (Switzerland) GSJ786 (UK)

Finished in its original colours of British Racing Green with a tan lether interior. This Jaguar was supplied new to the USA in March of 1953. It was repatriated to the UK 1998. At this time a full rewire was undertaken along with a bare metal respray & new tan leather & brown carpets all in the cars original colours as per the Jaguar Heritage sheet.

The exterior paint is in good order thoughout & is very lightly patinated giving a nice original feel to the car. Likewise under the bonnet the engine bay is largely original but with large bills showing it has been properly looked after & rebuilt as & when required. Once in Switzerland the engine was fully rebuilt and is running superbly as a result. In addition the brakes and hydraulics were redone as well as the clutch & associated hydraulics/ master cylinder etc

The interior woodwork of which there is plenty is original & as it left the factory with a really fine crackle finish to the varnish. The drivers seat back has ben profiled & sculpted to allow for a taller 6ft 3" driver to be comfortable in the car. Recorded mileage is currently 95, 000.

The car starts instantly & drives beautifully with the twin cam engine making all the right noises. The car sits on its original pressed steel wheels shod with 4 good tyres & is equipped with spats to the rear wheels.

This is a very well looked after car that has ben part of a private Swiss collection for some years. Viewings are by appointment in Switzerland 1/ 2 hour from Zurich. It is both Swiss & UK registered with taxes paid in both countries.
