The Jaguar XK120 isn’t just a car—it’s a legend. First launched in 1948, this stunning British sports car quickly became the fastest production car of its time, capable of reaching an astonishing 120 mph. That’s where it gets its name: XK for the engine and 120 for the top speed. With sweeping fenders, a long hood, and graceful lines, it set a design standard that still turns heads today.
Whether you own a pristine showpiece, a lovingly preserved classic, or a hidden project car tucked away for years, we know what that XK120 means. We don’t just buy Jaguar XK120s—we appreciate them, restore them, and help write their next chapter.
At Classic Investments, we’ve spent decades specializing in classic British sports cars, and the XK120 has always been close to our hearts. From the alloy-bodied early models to the later production roadsters, coupes, and dropheads, we know every curve and every nuance.
Our in-house restoration services cover everything from mechanical overhauls to show-quality paint jobs. We understand the XK120 engine, the intricacies of its Lucas electrical system, and the importance of period-correct finishes. This deep familiarity allows us to offer top value when you’re ready to sell.
Whether your car runs like a dream or hasn’t moved since Nixon was president, we want it. We specialize in buying Jaguar XK120s in any condition—complete cars, restoration projects, rusty shells, and forgotten barn finds. If it’s an XK120, we’re interested.
You won’t get radio silence or vague offers. We communicate clearly, make competitive offers, and handle all the logistics. That’s how selling your Jaguar XK120 should be.
We know the market, and we value your car accordingly. Whether it’s a show-ready example or a garage-kept project, we’ll walk you through how we arrive at our offer.
No more headaches with titles, transport, or registration issues. Our team manages the paperwork for a smooth transaction.
Once we agree on terms, we pay quickly—no games, no waiting.

It doesn’t matter if your Jaguar XK120 has been sitting under a tarp for 30 years or is just missing a few parts—we’re interested. Some of the best stories start with what looks like a hopeless project, and we’re here to give it a proper revival. We buy XK120 roadsters, fixed-head coupes, and drophead coupes in any shape or state.
We’ll Even Pay a Finder’s Fee
Know someone with a Jaguar XK120 tucked away? We’ll reward you for connecting us. Whether it’s a neighbor’s barn find or a family heirloom someone’s ready to part with, let us know and we’ll happily offer a finder’s fee if we close the deal.
Once you reach out, we’ll ask for a few basic details—photos, the VIN, overall condition. We respond quickly, typically within 24 hours, with next steps and a ballpark offer.
We don’t use cookie-cutter quotes. Your Jaguar XK120 is unique, and we treat it that way. Based on its history, condition, and specs, we’ll make a customized offer that reflects its actual worth—whether it’s a rare alloy-bodied ‘48 or a well-loved ‘54 coupe.
One seller reached out after inheriting an XK120 that hadn’t run since the ‘70s. It was buried under boxes in a garage, and the family thought it was worthless. After a quick assessment, we made a strong offer, picked it up within days, and began a full restoration. That car is now on display at a national concours event.
We don’t just buy and disappear. Many of our sellers stay in touch, watching the progress of their old Jaguar as we breathe new life into it. Some even return to buy another classic. It’s more than business—it’s a shared passion.
Originality: Matching numbers and original finishes boost value.
Documentation: Ownership history, service records, and provenance help immensely.
Model Rarity: Early alloy cars and factory competition models command premiums.
Even rough cars can fetch strong money—especially if they’re complete or historically significant. We assess all these factors in our offers, and always explain how we arrive at our numbers.
