AI Listing Summary
This 1952 Jaguar XK120C Competition Roadster, chassis number 672525, is a performance-prepared tribute to the period sports racing Jaguars.

Condition
7
While the car has been tastefully performance-prepared and underwent a nut-and-bolt restoration, it has also been campaigned on rallies and driving events, suggesting some wear and tear. The refurbishment of the fuel system and rebuild of carburetors indicate recent maintenance, but the overall condition aligns with a well-maintained vehicle that has seen some use but retains a high level of care.
