Franco Vigorito

1952 Jaguar XK120 OTS - Open Two Seater


Delivered new in Los Angeles, created in the iconic British Racing Green colour with Light Green interior and Gunmetal Grey soft top. With complete restoration, full matching number of original engine and original body, original frame plates, documented by Heritage birth certificate (see photos).

It has stood still for many years due to an engine problem (burnt head after backfire) 
and it hasn't been restored.

It is complete with its basic pieces and had been imported to create a racing car for historic races. The XK120 can be admitted to all the best international competitions: Le Mans, Mille Miglia, Goodwood, etc. after Covid the owner could not continue.

Each spare part is immediately available at many Italian and European Jaguar dealers and we can provide a list to the new buyer. Restoration of Jaguar 'XK' cars are simpler than the later XKEs: for example, there is a chassis and bodywork that pull off like a Land Rover and the floors are bolt-on wood.

It is always difficult to find restoration/Restomod projects with interesting original colours and matching numbers.


From the USA. Documents included:
US/EU customs clearance note
Heritage certificate
EU import documentation
EU tax payment receipts
