Buying a 1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster

The 1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster, the last year of production for the widely loved XK120 lineup, was popular among buyers over the DHC and the FHC for a number of reasons. Offering a lightweight canvas top and detachable side screens that could be stowed out of sight behind the seats, the Roadster also had barchetta-style doors that offered no external handles. Instead, there was an interior pull-cord that was accessible through a flap in the side screens. The front windscreen could also be removed or aeroscreens could be fitted. This raw, racecar style construction, paired with Jaguars recognized racing successes during this time period, made the Roadster perhaps the most popular of the XK120 lineup. In fact, throughout production, Jaguar released 12,078 XK120 models. Of that, 7,631 were Roadsters, 2,678 were Fixed Head Coupes and 1,769 were Drop Head Coupes. When you look at pictures of the 1954 Jaguar Roadster or see it in person, it is easy to understand why so many loved this car and continue to dream of owning one.
