Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1953 Jaguar XK120 SE Roadster, owned for 52 years and sold at no reserve, features a 3.4L inline-six engine and a four-speed manual transmission, finished in red over black upholstery. The car had a significant restoration in 1983, but has some noted cosmetic flaws and non-working wipers, suggesting it requires further attention.
Condition
6
The car underwent restoration in 1983, including engine rebuild, interior overhaul, and repaint. However, current issues include non-working windshield wipers, a paint crack near the rear fender piping, and the absence of a convertible top. The tires were mounted in August 2025, and the odometer shows 70k miles with an 'Over 10 Years' notation on the title. While mechanically functional with a rebuilt engine, these cosmetic and minor functional issues place it in the 'Good' condition category, requiring some reconditioning.
