1954 | Jaguar XK 120 SE OTS

This, matching numbers, Jaguar XK120SE OTC has been off the road in the USA since 1978. It was stored under a cover for 43 years, which resulted in a totally coroded body except for the aluminium parts such as enginehood and doors.

It was repatriated to the Netherlands in 2021 and body-off restored to original state by Classic Resotarion Services, Vreeland in the next year and a half. All invoices, worksheets and photos of the restoration process are available. The restoration work and painting was executed to the highest quality standard. The engine revision, including new bearings, valves and crankchaft balancing, was exectued by MRA in Apeldoorn which resulted in a very smooth running engine, starting at the first press of the startbutton.

This XK is a rare, original Special Equipment (SE)  version, which among other things means that it is equiped with a C-Type cylinderhead, the same as was used in the winning 24hLeMans C-types. It increases the perfomance from 160 to 210bhp (207HP/154Kw) and can be recognised by the S at the end of the enginenumber and the prefix of the chassinumber.

The car is equiped with an EZ-electrical powersteering which ensures a very smooth driving experience and original leather bucket seats.

The XK was a prize winner on the concours d’elegance at the Zandvoort racing circuit in May 2023 and participated in de concours d'elegance in the Netherlands in 2024
