Jaguar - XK 120 FHC - 1951
GENERAL:
This 1951 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupé was fully restored in 2015 and refinished in its original Twilight Blue Metallic, a rare and highly sought-after factory color. It is an early production example that was originally delivered to Los Angeles, USA, through distributor Charles Hornburg. The car is completely matching numbers, and the engine was fully rebuilt during the restoration. Since completion, the XK120 has been driven only sparingly and remains in excellent overall condition, both cosmetically and mechanically.
BODYWORK & PAINTWORK:
The car presents beautifully in its original Twilight Blue Metallic, a color verified by the accompanying Heritage Certificate as one of only forty-two cars produced in this shade worldwide. The paint retains a deep and elegant shine and reflects the quality of the restoration. Panels are straight, gaps are even, and the car exhibits the crisp lines expected of a well-restored FHC.
TECHNICAL:
Mechanically, the XK120 is in outstanding condition. The matching-numbers engine was completely overhauled during the restoration and runs smoothly with strong performance. The car shifts well, brakes properly, and offers a remarkably solid and confident driving experience. During the restoration, every mechanical component was addressed, ensuring reliability and authenticity throughout.
INTERIOR:
The interior was entirely reupholstered by a specialist during the restoration and has been finished to an exceptional standard. All materials were renewed, bringing the cabin to an as-new condition. The upholstery, trim, and fittings present beautifully, contributing to an authentic and elegant period-correct atmosphere.
DOCUMENTS:
Included with the car is the Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirming its original specification, matching numbers status, and rare Twilight Blue Metallic finish. The extensive restoration file contains invoices exceeding €75,000, along with a comprehensive photographic record documenting the restoration process from start to finish. The Jaguar holds a Dutch registration and comes with a valid periodic vehicle inspection (APK).
PICKUP:
The car is available for viewing by appointment, and we highly recommend seeing it in person to fully appreciate its condition and authenticity. Collection can be arranged flexibly, and the vehicle is ready for transport or immediate enjoyment.
OTHER INFORMATION:
Transport within Europe can be arranged, both open and enclosed, and full export support is available for international buyers. Additional restoration photos can be provided upon request. This rare and beautifully restored XK120 FHC represents a unique opportunity to acquire a highly original, matching-numbers car in one of the rarest factory colors Jaguar ever produced.
