Lot #1077 - This 1954 Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe is one of 1,472 left-hand-drive examples produced and one of just 466 equipped with the Special Equipment Package. Power comes from a 210hp 3.4-liter DOHC inline-6 engine coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission. The XK120 utilizes an independent front suspension with transverse wishbones, elongated torsion and anti-roll bars, a rigid rear axle, semi-elliptical leaf springs and recirculating bar steering. Equipped with the Special Equipment Package (SE), this XK120 features a slew of engine upgrades, including camshafts, carburetors, larger exhaust valves, lightened flywheel and larger crankshaft damper. A set of hydraulic drum brakes at all four corners provide stopping power for the whitewall-clad knock-off wire wheels. Additional SE components included larger heavy-duty torsion bars, windscreen washer, high-performance generator and the aforementioned wire wheels. This XK120 Drophead Coupe is a concours show-winner, placing First in Class at the 2013 Jaguar Club of America with a remarkable 99.9 out of 100 points. This XK120 DHC also won the “People’s Choice Award” at the same event. Finished in a stunning red over a Biscuit Connolly leather interior with a burled walnut trim and Wilton Wool carpets hidden beneath a Khaki Fawn Hood soft-top.
