Fully-restored Jaguar XK120 SE Roadsters — like this primo one selling soon at Mecum — are the right reason to stay up working long hours.

Scheduled to roll onto Bonhams auction block in Monaco this spring is likely the only unrestored original 1952 Jaguar XK120 C, C-Type, available on earth.

First-generation E-Type models are uncommon and in this condition, truly magnificent. It is a trophy sports car gentlemen travel the globe to acquire.
