Jaguar XK120 DHC '53 CH77347
79 950 € EUR

The Jaguar XK 120 is one of the most legendary sports cars of the 1950s. With its elegant lines, powerful 3.4-litre straight-six engine and timeless appeal, it was the fastest production car in the world at its launch. This 1953 example, in the rare Drophead Coupé (DHC) version, underwent an older professional restoration and today presents itself as an interesting basis for further restoration and optimisation.
