Where can you find this Jaguar XK120 that won an award at this year’s Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance for sale? At an auction house? A collector-oriented dealership? No, Facebook Marketplace.
This example underwent a complete restoration. How good was it? Good enough to win the Gil Nickel/Far Niente Award, given for restoration excellence. What does it take to get that honor? “Nearly every nut and bolt has been refurbished, plated in zinc and black chromated to match the original black oxide finish but with the added benefit of rustproofing,” says the seller.
The Jaguar XK120 retains its numbers-matching engine block, chassis, body and gearbox. It comes with the trophy/ribbon and assorted memorabilia from The Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance.
Find this 1951 Jaguar XK120 open two-seater for sale on Facebook Marketplace, with an asking price of $120,000.
