This 1950 Jaguar XK120 was prepped for vintage racing sometime in the late 1970’s, and later purchased by the seller in ’84. Continuously raced and developed through 2000 when it was last on track, the seller describes it as thoroughly dialed-in with only 10 laps on a rebuild of the 3.8 liter twin cam straight-six. Sale includes logbooks and spares, and though the car will need refreshing work to be ready for both more miles and safety scrutineering, it seems like it’d be worth the effort. Find it here on Craigslist in Wallingford, Connecticut for $65k.

The ad is short, concise, and well written. Says the seller: “The suspension is extremely stiff and well tuned. Rack and pinion steering, Delrin bushings, front and rear sway bars with an adjustable rear Panhard rod and Bilstein shocks at all four corners. Disk brakes front and rear with separate master cylinders and a adjustable bias bar. Goodyear Eagle tires on 15″ aluminum Revolution wheels. She has electronic ignition, oil cooler, electric fan, a 15 gallon fuel cell that is steel caged, with a regulation SCCA roll cage from that period.”

Safety equipment will need updating, of course.

Engine specs sound impressive, the seller noting balanced internals, a nitrided crankshaft, forged aluminum pistons, a .020 overbore, early E-type head with aluminum/bronze valve guides, triple 2″ SU carbs, and an 11:1 compression ratio. A Schiefer competition clutch clamps a lightened flywheel, and a close-ratio Moss gearbox sends drive to a limited slip rear end.

Spares include two sets of Revolution wheels (one shod with rain tires), an extra 3.77 diff and other, smaller items. A logbook is noted briefly as well.
