1953 Jaguar XK 120 Drop Head Coupe. Total production of the Drop Head Coupe from 1950 to 1953 was 1,471. Owned and garaged by a private collector since 1983. All original accept for some paint work and engine. Prior to their ownership an early XK-E 3.8 engine with 3 carbs was installed. Vehicle has never been in an accident, all original sheet metal is in place. Vehicle runs and drives, transmission shifts smooth, rear is quiet, and brakes are good. Frame is solid. A ralley clock was installed at some point and is still in place on left side of the dash. I am listing this vehicle for a friend and the best way to get answers to questions is to call him directly at 610-326-8484 his name is Lou. Please do not e-mail me questions about the car. Call him directly. If you need additional pictures I will do my best to get them to you. Owner can assist with shipping vehicle.

Thank you Charles! Yes, they are the most rare of all XK's produced. The 120 DHC was built from Jan. 1953 until Aug. 1954.. a total of twenty months. The DHC was produced in both Right Hand Drive (RHD) and Left Hand Drive (LHD) with 294 units in RHD and 1471 in LHD.. a total of 1765, although there were 1767 actual DHC "Chassis" (frames) built. There are questions as to what became of these frames. I am the XK120 DHC Registrar and have confirmed the world-wide existence of four hundred twenty XK120 DHC's (in both LHD & RHD).. slightly less than one-third.. a large percentage in anybody's book. Thanks. Charles Bishop. Texas.
