. This is a replica of the early 50s Jaguar XK120 roadster made by Eagle Coach Works in Buffalo New York. The owner purchased this replica already built and then had John York Sports Cars Inc refresh the car into the beauty you see in the photos. York is a Virginia licensed vehicle manufacturer that has over 30 years' experience. This Jaguar was gone over in 2013 with new leather interior, new brakes including lines, new clutch kit and flywheel, Mustang II front and rear suspension, new tires and hub caps, new gas tank with new fuel lines. This vehicle is powered by a 1975 Buick even fire V-6 3.8 Liter engine with a Holley two barrel carburetor. The engine is backed with a Buick four speed manual transmission. This car drives and runs excellent and has plenty of power. From the Eagle Coach website: "Boasting a 102" wheelbase and 24 inches longer than other British sports cars of its day, the XK120 rendered all the other contenders yesterday's news. It embodied a marvelous blend of spirited performance and William Lyons' dramatic, avant-garde coachwork. As if to underscore its place in the sun, cinema superstar Clark Gable purchased the very first Jaguar XK120 exported to North America! We at Eagle bring our 20 years of replicar production experience to its zenith with our magnificent replicas of vintage British roadsters... the XK120 of the early 1950s and the SS100 of the late 1930s. We carefully manufacture our bodies using Eagle's exclusive custom laminating process, which provides for you the rugged construction and highest quality fit & finish that today's technology can deliver. The lights, grillework, windshield frame and other hardware items are authentically reproduced. Your Eagle XK120G is built upon our custom engineered box-steel chassis which boasts the identical, wide-track 102" wheelbase and 176" overall length as the original. As a benefit you get excellent legroom even if you're well over six-feet tall. You have a choice of Ford four cylinder, V6, or V8 power, with automatic or stickshift transmission. The long wheelbase and low center-of-gravity gives your Eagle Coach Work roadster replica the characteristics of the world-class British sports machine after which it was patterned. We urge you to compare our sleek, steel-reinforced fiberglass coachwork, our structural steel chassis and Eagle's finishing touches: the dashboard of imported Carpathian elm burl---hand rubbed and finished with 28 coats of varnish--and the individually adjustable, fully-contoured bucket seats complemented with matching tubular trim and padded door panel... all available in genuine Argentine leather, if you desire."
