Buying a 1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe

1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head CoupeThe Jaguar XK120, manufactured by Jaguar from 1948 to 1954, was the British manufacturers first sports car since the SS 100 was released prior to the war, and was launched with great acclaim and praise. First released as a Roadster, then also as a Drop Head Coupe from 1953 and a closed, or Fixed Head Coupe from 1951, the Jaguar XK120 offered sensual curvature and unparalleled styling in an affordable and powerful package. Perhaps the most under-represented model in the XK120 lineup is the Fixed Head Coupe. The 1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe (and other model-years FHC examples) boasts a truly distinct style that is almost impossible to replicate. Not just an open two-seater with a hardtop attached, the Fixed Head Coupe was meticulously designed to turn heads. When you added the side spats that covered the rear wheel arches, the Fixed Head Coupe was something fit for only the finest garage or museum.

1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe Buyers Guide

If youre thinking about buying a 1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe, or any XK120, here are a few Buyers Tips from the professionals at The Beverly Hills Car Club. First, rust is clearly the enemy on these sixty-year-old classics. Fixing body panel issues during a restoration project is not for the amateur restorer. These bodies are very complex and are all just a bit different. It is crucial to find a car with a solid frame and body; however, frame rust doesnt seem to be as much of an issue as body rust on these cars. Lucas electrical systems are also an important component that should be checked out prior to purchasing any XK120. Whatever installation was in place has likely now cracked, so if the original harness is still in the car, be sure to spend some time checking for corrosion at any of the connectors, bad grounds and other electrical nightmares. These systems are renowned for being finicky but are part of owning British cars. These are just a few tips for the 1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe.
