This gorgeous XK 120 Fixed Head Coupé was delivered new to the U.S. Completed by Jaguar on 7 March 1952, the car was subsequently shipped to Charles Hornburg’s distributorship in Los Angeles finished in Pastel Green with a Suede Green interior. The first owner was H E Bauer, an airline pilot who kept the car until 2010. During his ownership it was parked in his garage in 1967, and there it sat until 2010.

After emerging from over five decades of single ownership, it was subjected to a full body-off restoration by John Pollock Restorations of Reseda, California. There, the car was restored in its stunning original colours and received several factory upgrades, including a five-speed gearbox, front disc brakes, a lightened flywheel, and an aluminium radiator for greater performance and drivability in modern traffic. Following the completion of the restoration, it won Best Jaguar at the Beverly Hills Concours d’Elegance prior to being exported to the UK in 2014.

Considered by many to be one of Jaguar’s most spectacular designs, this example’s colour scheme showcases the XK 120’s curves beautifully, and considering its modern upgrades, it would be a spectacular driver’s example.

Ce magnifique coupé Jaguar XK 120 a été livré neuf aux États-Unis. Il est sorti des usines Jaguar le 7 mars 1952, de teinte "Pastel Green" avec intérieur "Suede Green", puis a été envoyé chez le distributeur Charles Hornburg, à Los Angeles. Le premier propriétaire était H.-E. Bauer, un pilote de ligne qui a gardé sa voiture jusqu'en 2010. Pendant cette période, elle a été entreposée dans son garage à partir de 1967 et y est restée jusqu'en 2010.

Après plus de 50 ans entre les mêmes mains, elle est sortie de l'ombre et a fait l'objet d'une restauration complète, avec mise à nu de la carrosserie, chez John Pollock Restorations, de Reseda (Californie). La voiture a été remise en état dans ses teintes d'origine et a reçu plusieurs améliorations comme une boîte cinq rapports, des freins avant à disque, un volant-moteur allégé et un radiateur en aluminium, l'ensemble étant destiné à la rendre plus performante et plus facile à utiliser dans la circulation moderne. Une fois la restauration terminée, elle a remporté le prix de "Best Jaguar" au Concours d’Élégance de Beverly Hills, avant d'être exportée en Angleterre en 2014.

Souvent considérée comme une des Jaguar les plus spectaculaires sur le plan esthétique, l'XK 120 présente des lignes qui sont magnifiquement mises an valeur par cet exemplaire qui, compte tenu de ses améliorations modernes, constituera en plus une voiture particulièrement agréable à utiliser.
