Description
1969 Jaguar XKE Roadster
For consignment shades of Austin Powers in the form of this very recognizable British Automobile, the XKE Jaguar. With an older restoration and a folder full of service receipts, it's Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, this car runs perfectly, and looks awesome! An honest, original, driver's car!
Exterior
Jaguar motors nailed it when they penned this design which utilizes a long bulbous bonnet, curvaceous fenders which wrap chrome wire knockoff wheels, and a curved to a pinched boot, framed by a chrome wrap around bumper. Primrose, (pale yellow), is the hue on the bodyPaint on this car is presenting nicely but upon closer inspection shows surface rusted chip offs, rust bubbling, inclusions, along with cracks and a few minor runs in the finish. Chrome and badging as well as trim is all very nice but does have some slight haziness to the chrome. The black canvas convertible top shows some color fading and a few minor tears on the passenger side and presents with a clear plastic window. This top is manually operated and can be raised or lowered with one person. Rounding out the exterior are lightly patinaed chrome wire knock off wheels wrapped in Pirelli 205/70R15 blackwall rubber.
Interior
Yards of black leather cover the low back bomber style bucket seats, door panels, and dash top, and it's all very nice. The dash is peppered with numerous Smiths gauges, and a full lineup of toggle switches. An original wood steering wheel fronts the dash, and the factory radio has been replaced with a modern Alpine AM/FM/CD unit. Black carpet in very nice condition is covering the floor and small rear stowage area. The trunk is nearly perfect and includes a tonneau cover which is original to this car.
Drivetrain
A flip forward of the bonnet reveals some of true British handiwork in the form of a 4.2 liter DOHC Inline 6-cylinder, complete with 3 2-barrel SU carburetors. Have no fear as the original intake manifold and Stromberg carbs are included with the purchase. The original 4-speed manual transmission is attached and sends power to a 3.54 geared rear axle. A fine patina covers the engine, its bay and the underside of the bonnet, otherwise all is looking good.
Undercarriage
All clean with a veritable sea of black rustproofing and undercoating for the bottom side. We see an independent torsion bar front suspension working with a 4 coilover shocks on the independent rear set up. Disc brakes now on all 4 corners and a stainless-steel dual exhaust system handles the exhale with ease. No structural problems, and a very sturdy and clean frame.
Drive-Ability
As expected, because it has been well maintained and fully documented, this car started and ran flawlessly. It had a nice throaty exhaust sound, and all the controls worked. Typical of a Jaguar, the power comes with added safety in the form of bias free disc brakes all around. Nice driver and fantastic handling.
A beautiful example indeed, all wrapped up in Primrose paint and black leather which retains their luster. A patina'd engine bay, with added power, great suspension, and 4-wheel disc brakes. A nice find if you are in the market for some shag-a-licious Jaguar iconic British design prior to the rubber bumper era.

Jaguar’s stunning XK120 was a massively important car for both the marque and post-war Britain. Upon its introduction, the XK120 was the fastest car in the world and arguably the most beautiful. As a result, it put Jaguar firmly back on the map. After the model’s debut at the 1948 Earl’s Court Motor Show, one journalist commented, “All perceived notions as to what was a series-production sports car disappeared overnight.” The fixed head coupe entered production in 1951 as the second of three XK120 models, and it boasted perhaps the highest level of practicality out of the three styles. The addition of a hardtop not only protected its occupants from the weather but also added even more voluptuous curves to the already shapely body. The coupe was aimed squarely at the export market, and it attempted to sway even more Americans towards buying a car from across the pond. The magnificent 1953 Jaguar XK120 fixed head coupe featured here is finished in its stunning original factory color combination of Pastel Blue over a red leather interior. This exquisite example was completed at the factory on March 6, 1953, and delivered new in Los Angeles, California to its first owner. 10 years later it would be sold to its second owner in Santa Barbara, California where it remained for the next 54 years; its third California owner in 2017 commissioned a no expense spared, show-quality restoration which was completed in 2018. Upon completion, it was shown at numerous JCNA events and won multiple awards. In January 2022, a complete extensive service was performed by Marque specialists making this spectacular example ready for its next caretaker. We are proud to offer this gorgeous investment-grade Jaguar XK120 fixed head coupe to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the very best. width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HRJwuXqXObQ" title="1953 JAGUAR XK120 FIXED HEAD COUPE | Daniel Schmitt & Co." frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""> width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d3kQNFai0y8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""> Ready to make an investment that you can actually enjoy?

Financing
Finance rates as low as

.
We know that
classic car financing
can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.
We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.
Terms available up to
144 Months
