Description

The Jaguar XK 120 of Racing Legend Jack Sears In the annals of automotive history, few vehicles command as much reverence as the Jaguar XK 120. Among these, one car stands head and shoulders above the rest: the XK 120 once owned by racing legend Jack Sears, bearing the original license plate DVV-200. This car is not merely a classic; it's a piece of racing heritage, meticulously preserved and ready to continue its storied legacy.

A Rare Breed Jaguar produced a total of 12,056 XK 120s across all body styles (FHC, OTS, and DHC). The Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) version accounted for only 2,678 of these (194 RHD, 2,484 LHD). Nearly a third of all XK 120s were fitted with the more powerful SE option, but within this elite segment lies an even rarer gem.

The standard engine XK 120s numbered 8,254 units, while 3,792 boasted the more potent SE engine. Responding to special customer requests, Jaguar crafted just 26 units with the even more formidable high-compression "9S engine."

A Singular Marvel This particular Jaguar XK 120 is a standout, even among the rarefied "9S engine" models:

1 of 26 Jaguar XK 120 SE with a "9S engine" (across all body styles) 1 of 12 Jaguar XK 120 SE FHC with a "9S engine" (both LHD and RHD) The only Jaguar XK 120 SE FHC RHD with a "9S engine" Acquired new by Jack Sears, this vehicle is the sole right-hand drive car of its kind worldwide. It boasts a complete and rich history, documented through registration papers, FIA passport, invoices, photographs, personal dedications, and correspondence.

Racing Pedigree Jack Sears piloted his XK 120 SE FHC, DVV-200, through eight races in the 1954 season, including the RAC Rally, Goodwood, and Snetterton, achieving podium finishes in seven of them. This vehicle wasn't just a racer; it was a champion.

Sears himself is a celebrated figure in motorsport, winning the British Saloon Car Championship in 1958 and 1963. He also competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times and the 12 Hours of Sebring twice, driving for top teams in cars like the Ferrari 330 LMB, AC Cobra, Jaguar E-Type Lightweight, and Shelby Daytona Coupe.

A Storied Provenance After its illustrious racing career, the XK 120 passed through the hands of other notable figures in motorsport, including Peter and Michael Sargent, who campaigned in prestigious events like the World Sports Car Championship and Le Mans. In 2000, the car was sold to Francis Perring, and in 2003, it found its most recent owner.

The vehicle has been meticulously cared for, remaining in remarkable condition. Technically, it is in top form, having been prepared for the 2018 Goodwood Revival by CLK Developments at a cost of over £30,000.

Documented Legacy The Jaguar XK 120 SE FHC "9S" Coupe is featured in several authoritative texts on the marque, including Jack Sears' biography "Gentleman Jack," Paul Skilleter's "The Jaguar XK's," Philip Porter's "Original Jaguar XK," and Dr. James Fraser's "The Jaguar XK120 in Competition." Its history is extensively documented, with a heritage certificate, books, photos, invoices, and valid FIA papers until 2028.

A Historic Treasure For those in the know, the significance of Jack Sears' XK 120 with the legendary DVV-200 plate needs no explanation. This is more than a car; it's a living testament to the golden era of racing. Suitable for top-tier events like the Mille Miglia and Goodwood Revival, this Jaguar remains a legend in the international racing scene.

We are privileged to offer this vehicle on behalf of our discerning client. Its German registration allows it to be driven on public roads, a rare feature for a car of such historical importance. While the mileage, naturally accrued over decades, is documented and low due to its prized status, connoisseurs will appreciate its careful preservation.

This Jaguar XK 120 SE "9S" is not just a beautiful vehicle; it's a piece of racing history ready to grace the collection of a true enthusiast.
