The seller offers for sale this 1954 Jaguar XK120 OTS Roadster, an open two-seater that represents one of the finest examples of postwar British sports engineering. Originally delivered to the United States, it was imported into Italy in 2009 and has had only two owners since. The car took part in the prestigious Mille Miglia in 2020, proudly wearing its event markings. Verified by the Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust and registered with both ASI and FFVE, this XK120 benefits from a restoration that covered every detail, from the paintwork to the mechanicals and interior.
The Jaguar XK120 is one of the most iconic British sports cars ever made. Introduced in 1948, it set new standards for performance and style, becoming the world’s fastest production car of its time. Its elegant lines, lively straight-six engine, and refined road manners won admiration both on the road and in motorsport. The 1954 OTS (Open Two Seater) version remains especially desirable for collectors who value authenticity, heritage, and driving pleasure. Combining racing pedigree with timeless beauty, this XK120 embodies the essence of Jaguar’s golden era.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description.

Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection.
