Enjoy this numbers-matching 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE Roadster (OTS) as a survivor car or a superb project for restoration. According to the seller, it “drives brilliantly” and “had been enjoyed by its last owner of 42 years.”

The car originally came in Lavender Gray, with Red leather, and a Fawn convertible top. The seller says it has “small dents and scratches from use and storage.” They add “there is a little rust showing on the passenger side body that would be a relatively easy repair. Overall, this has little rust with the exception of normal surface rust on its chassis.” The chassis at some point was sprayed with a primer to prevent rust.

It has a numbers-matching, 3.4-liter twin SU H8-carbureted DOHC inline-six engine, with a numbers-matching 4-speed manual. The seller recently rebuilt the carburetor, changed the fluids and rebuilt the master and wheel cylinders.

Included with the sale are the car’s convertible top, side curtains, two original Jaguar Heritage Certificates, some historical documentation and tools. The seller says that the “Hagerty Values for the XK120 SE Roadster are $102,000 in No. 3 ‘Good Condition’ and $64,100 in No. 4 ‘Fair Condition.’”

Find this 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE Roadster (OTS) for sale from Classic Promenade, with an asking price of $68,800.

Can it really be considered a survivor if it's not the original paint or interior color?

Those carbs don't look like H8's. Look like the original spec H6's.

Pretty car, interesting color. A bit of a stretch to call that a #3-#4 condition.
