Thornley Kelham breathes new life into old Jaguar XK120
Ideas for transformation The Jaguar XK120 may look a bit out of place, but Thornley Kelham has managed to create a car that pays homage to the original while breathing new life into it. Thornley Kelham is a British company that specializes in restoration work, usually on classic European cars. The company has also dabbled in the conversion of cars like the Porsche 356, Porsche 911 and Lancia Aurelia, and now we can add the Jaguar XK120 to the list. Thornley Kelham previewed its XK120 conversion, the XK European, for the first time in 2022. The first example has now been completed, and according to Piston Heads, it took around 2,000 hours to complete. Customers can provide their own XK120, or Thornley Kelham can source one.

Priced at around $750,000, the 911 will be limited to just 25 units and can be had with one of three engines, the wildest being a 3.8 that revs to 10,000 rpm. A modified Porsche 356 and Jaguar XK will continue the series later this year, as will TK's 2021 Lancia Aurelia Outlaw. I know, I know, it's another 911. But you've read this far, so you obviously think Thornley Kelham's retro Porsche deserves further inspection, and we agree. Maybe, like us, you remember the gorgeous Desperado-style Lancia Aurelia CSL these guys pulled off back in 2021, or maybe it's because the RSR-style front end (with shades of the 993 GT2) makes TK's European RS look a little different than some other modified 911s. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } });…
