Brought to us from a private collection, R&H Motorcars is proud to offer this rare 1953 Jaguar XK120 SE Roadster. Finished in a lovely brilliant Red, the correct Bartlett interior is presented with biscuit Connolly leather, which complements its exterior perfectly. Proper Wilton wool carpet blankets the floor.

As you approach this vehicle your heart might start to pulsate. The lights above reflecting down on her curves show that every panel and wing is exquisitely finished to perfection. The chrome trimmed bullet headlights and fog lamps are in excellent condition as well. The spoke chromed wire wheels wrapped with period correct wide white walls adds to the pure beauty and elegance of this automobile.

Opening the bonnet reveals the inline six-cylinder DOHC engine--Paxton provides the supercharger.  Underneath the boot you’ll discover all the details to match. This vehicle has the tool roll (including wrenches and mallet), jack, spare and wire wheel hub wrench.

Every nut and bolt on this example is stock with the exception of the 1960’s era 3.8 engine with added Paxton supercharger. This automobile is a verifiable Jaguar XK120 SE Roadster built exactly like the record breaking XK120 which achieved a recorded speed of 141 m.p.h. in Jabbeke, Belgium.

At the Motor Car Group, we're enthusiasts first. We want you to enjoy your new car from the minute it's delivered and the trailer door drops. Before a car leaves our shop, it's gone through comprehensively, both visually and mechanically. We do more than just kick the tires, though: We change every fluid from the oil to the differential to the brake fluid to the convertible top hydraulic oil. We do this after you buy the car so that your “maintenance clock” starts when you get it, and not months prior! We fill your tires with nitrogen, road test (if the weather permits us here in Cleveland!) and clean it inside and out. We buff the paint using a three-step process immediately before it's taken away so that it gleams when it arrives. Every car we sell, from Sunday drivers through the rarest exotics, is meant to be driven--get out there!

If you have any questions before, during or after the sale, do not hesitate to contact us. It's what we're here for! Call us at (440) 914-0000, write us at sales@motorcargroup.com or stop by and see the new shop at 6441 Davis Industrial Parkway, Solon OH 44139. We're 26 miles from Cleveland Hopkins Airport and we can pick you up when you come to inspect or purchase your car. We welcome any prospective buyers, their buyer's agents or inspectors from Monday through Friday during business hours, as well as evenings and weekends by appointment. We're car people who love what we do, and you'll feel it from the first time you contact us. Give the R&H crew the opportunity to serve you: Our passion and attention to detail set us apart!
