Jaguar XK 120SE Drophead 1954
It made for a commandingly more elegant XK120, and only 1,471 DHC units in left-hand-drive configuration would be produced. One option available to further enhance the XK120 would be the SE (Special Equipment) package. It would provide 54-spoke wire wheels, Lucas fog lamps, stiffer torsion bar suspension, and high-lift camshaft offering 20 additional horsepower. This SE package became commonly referred to as the “M” for modified in the USA. Outside of the early aluminum XK120’s, these are quite possibly the most rare of open XK-series Jaguars to have in any proper english car collection today, the Jaguar XK120 SE DHC. A 1954 Jaguar XK120SE Drophead coupe finished in pacific blue over biscuit and tan leather interior with matching sand colored soft top. Features include number’s matching 3,442cc inline 6 DOHC engine offering 180 horsepower connected to a 4-speed manual gearbox, and standard 3.77:1 rear axle ratio, Smiths instrumentation, windshield washers, heater/defrost, and more. Options include special equipment package, chromed wire wheels, wide whitewall tires, telescopic steering wheel, dual fender mounted mirrors, added seatbelts, and carpeted floor and trunk mats.
According to the British Heritage trust certificate, this example was ordered from the Los Angeles, CA district, but found its first registered owner out of Washington Island, WI. It is believed the car stayed garaged and kept with this original owner until it was discovered by Ragtop Motor Cars from West Palm Beach, FL in the late 1990’s. It was fully restored in frame off fashion to correct specifications and later sold in July 1998 to a local Palm Beach, FL collector. It has traded hands only one time since and in february 2004, it sold again by RM Auctions in Boca Raton. That lucky buyer has had, and properly maintained, this example for the past 12 and half years. It continues to showcase incredibly well with equal driving standards ready for you driver enthusiasts. The original Smiths instrumentation all function perfectly, the engine starts and performs with gusto as does the transmission with easy shifts, and braking with proper authority. It will come with 3 sets of keys, original tool kit, tire changing equipment with matching spare tire, British Heritage trust certificate, owner’s manual, service manual, and two parts manuals.
