1949 Jaguar XK120 Roadster Alloy for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1949 Jaguar XK120 Roadster Alloy is a used car showing 2,520 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Red with a Red and Biscuit interior.

Jaguar made only 242 XK120s with hand-built aluminium bodies before switching to steel, 184 of them with left-hand drive, and this is car number 59 of those. Its Heritage Trust certificate records completion on 16 December 1949 and shipment to the Toronto dealer James L Cooke Motors in January 1950, finished in the same red it wears today, with a mostly red and Biscuit cabin and a black hood.

RM Auto Restoration, a firm known for Pebble Beach winners, restored it in 1990, and the work has aged well: deep paint, tight panel fit, lightly used leather, a spotless underside and a clean engine bay. The numbers match, and the painted steel wheels allow the rear spats that wire wheels rule out.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Jaguar XK120 uses the 3,441 cc XK straight-six with twin overhead camshafts, 83 by 106 mm bore and stroke and two SU H6 carburettors, designed under William Heynes, rated at 160 bhp (119 kW) at 5,000 rpm, or 180 bhp in Special Equipment form, with a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels.

FAQ

This Jaguar XK120 Roadster in the European market

Is this Jaguar XK120 Roadster priced above or below the European market?

At €219,500, it sits above the median of €99,500 for the 3 Jaguar XK120 Roadster advertised in Europe in 2026. 67% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Jaguar XK120 Roadster be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Jaguar XK120 Roadster cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €1,473 in the United Kingdom, excluding options. This car is advertised at €219,500, 14802% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1949 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Jaguar XK120 Roadster compare?

2,520 km recorded, against a median of 2,993 km across the Jaguar XK120 Roadster advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.
