From the first owner Mr Wallace Cartwright who kept it for many years in his collection and is written about above, then onto other previous owners prior to a Mr Liggins who had stated that the car was restored to a very high standard in 1986, he purchased the car in 1988 after looking for over three years to find a car in this condition he kept it up until he sold it in 1996, who also kept it in his private collection mostly for display and kept in dry climate controlled conditions until 2006. I came to own the car a few years later, when I exchanged my Cobra and a large chunk of cash, for this 1954 jaguar XK privately, I keep the car garaged and covered at all times, its a collectors car really that needs to be driven and seen, so its time to sell the Jaguar XK120 to someone with more time than I have who can really enjoy and drive this car, as I also have a XK150 which I am keeping and drive every summer. Please let me know if you are interested in buying. The Minimum Offer Considered is £85,000. Thank you.
Ps: All Original Jaguar XK120 with the six cylinder engines, came without any overdrive from the factory. Some XK 120s had after market overdrives fitted later but where not originally fitted at the factory.
