Description of 1954 Jaguar XK |
Here's a true survivor! Purchased back in 1958 by its 2nd owner, his car originally came to Canada from France, here it was driven by a French medical student. When he was returning to France in 1958, he current owner purchased the car for his personal use. He drove it very little and it has mostly been in storage as part of a small collection of other classic and vintage cars. The car wears most of its original paint. The passenger door was dented many years ago and was repaired and repainted, nd the forward-most top of the front fenders appears to have been repainted as well. The remainder of the original black paint is still on the car, nd there are some areas where the primer is beginning to show through as a result of polishing and washing over the years. The charmingly cracked and worn original wine red leather interior is still intact, lthough it appears that the carpet was replaced at some point. The original top and side curtains are still usable, ut the window plastic has yellowed over time. The trunk floor has had some rust repair panels added.Recently, he car has been gone over mechanically and it runs and drives. The brake master cylinder has just been replaced. This car isn't perfect, ut is a very good example of a 'survivor' car. A car is only 'original' once! This one is just that. Located just West of Montreal Canada, nd only about an hour's drive from Malone NY, his XK120 has been owned by a collector who is its 2nd owner. He has owned the car for almost 60 years, ut has not used the car much for many of those years. Over the past two years, he car has been mechanically tuned and repaired as necessary so that it can move under its own power. ****************************** |
