1953 Jaguar XK120 DHC – partially restored vehicle

For sale this 1953 Jaguar XK120 DHC, ideal for an interesting restoration project.

Jaguar XK120s are beautiful, elegant, and aggressive cars with a rich history of success.

The DHC stands for Drop Head Coupé, and this variant of the XK120 was produced between 1953 and 1954, with only 1,765 units built.

The DHC version had a more sophisticated design compared to the XK120 OTS. It featured luxurious interiors similar to the RHC, a padded and lined folding top, and roll-up windows.

After World War II, they developed the X engine, which stood for eXperimental. After various attempts, the “K” version was finalized, a 3,442cc inline-six engine producing 160 HP, paired with a 4-speed gearbox. This allowed the Jaguar XK120 to achieve extraordinary success in automotive competitions.

The car we are offering for sale has a fully re-panelled body, primed and ready for painting.

In addition to the bodywork, other interventions have been made on this car, including:

  • Engine rebuilt in Great Britain
  • Overhauled gearbox
  • Refurbished instruments
  • Restored dashboard woodwork

This Jaguar XK120 DHC features left-hand drive, a correct type engine, a chassis in excellent condition, the original convertible top structure, chrome pieces, and other components (see photos for parts).
