1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster SE for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster SE is a used car showing 50,084 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Carmine Red with a Tan interior.

Ordered in 1954 through Hornburg, the Jaguar dealer in Los Angeles, this open two-seater was specified with the optional SE upgrade. The Jaguar Heritage Certificate shows that it still carries its factory colour, Carmine Red, and its original engine. It has since taken part in the California Mille Miglia and the Colorado Grand.

An earlier restoration has held up well: the chassis is free of rust, the thin, well-aligned panels show little wear, and the red paint has only a few small blemishes. The hood is new and easy to use, the beige leather is gently worn and the burr walnut dash and original gauges are in good order. Engine and gearbox have been rebuilt.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Jaguar XK120 SE uses the 3,442 cc XK straight-six with twin overhead camshafts and twin SU carburettors, in Special Equipment tune, rated at 180 bhp (134 kW) and about 210 km/h, with a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels.

At €99,500, it sits at the median of €99,500 for the 3 Jaguar XK120 Roadster advertised in Europe in 2026. 33% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.
