Description

No matter what we did, the 1953 Jaguar XK120 fixed-head coupe refused to fire up.
The then 17-year-old sports car wouldn’t run and the asking price had been reduced to just a few hundred dollars, not including the tow back to my friend’s parents house where it languished in the car port. My buddy knew nothing about repairing Jaguars, or any other vehicle for that matter. But we both considered the car’s sweeping front fenders, teardrop roofline and delicately finned grille to be a work of art.
