The seller offers for sale this 1950 Jaguar XK120, finished in its original Birch Grey colour and powered by a 3.4-litre 6-cylinder petrol engine with manual transmission. The car was originally sold in New York City through Hoffman and was imported from Illinois to Belgium in 2014. It underwent a detailed restoration over three years, resulting in an elegant and well-preserved example. The paint remains in its original shade, smooth and free of visible scratches or dents. The interior was renewed in 2021 in England by professionals using the correct leather colour, and gauges were professionally restored and calibrated.
