Classic Driver Jan-Feb 2017 classicdriver.co.nz
Roger Munns’ passion for Jaguars, and more specifically
the XK120, began when he spotted famed Kiwi crime
writer, Dame Ngaio Marsh, driving down Oxford Street
in Christchurch at the wheel of her black XK120 fixed
head coupé, coincidentally driving right past Archibald
Motors’ Jaguar dealership.
Only 13 at the time, Roger thought: “What a car - I’ve got to own one
of those.” At the time, that was only a dream and he never thought that
it would ever come true.
In fact, Roger’s very first car turned out to be something rather less
exotic than an XK120 – a Standard 8. Later, from 1963 to 1965, Roger
began racing and rallying an MGB. Roger to take a look at the car.

Jaguar XK120 SE & 1967 Jaguar E-Type

THE PROJECT
Last registered in Hollywood in 1972, the XK120’s first owner was
listed as Frederick Wheeler and it transpired that the car had been sitting
in a barn for many years, picking up a few minor dents and scrapes
during its time in storage. However, apart from missing chrome-plated
windscreen surrounds, the Jaguar appeared to be complete. As it had been
originally sold new in the USA, the Jaguar was, of course, a LHD car.
As delivered to Roger in 1998, the XK120 was a runner – although
without working footbrakes but a working handbrake – and while he
considered what would be needed to fully restore the XK120, Roger
took it out for a quick drive around the block every week or so. One of
these quick drives would finally spur Roger into restoring the Jaguar.
On this occasion, all had been going well and, with the car’s footbrakes
non-operational, Roger had become used to using the handbrake to
slow and stop the car. Alas, during this run, the rear left-hand side of
the Jaguar suddenly collapsed and Roger was aghast to see a wire wheel
bouncing across the sidewalk and through a fence. Luckily, the damage
was restricted to the left-hand rear guard and the wire wheel, which had sides – instead of tightening up while being driven, the rear wheels

determined that the rear splines had been mounted on the wrong only a few minor patches of body rust and an almost perfect chassis. As
something of a bonus, the Jaguar’s on again/off again Otahuhu
customer had already purchased around $3,000 worth of spare
parts, and these were supplied to Roger along with the car.
Roger did as much work on the XK120 as possible himself,
only leaving the mechanical work, painting and upholstery
to specialists.
The car’s 3.4-litre XK engine was completely rebuilt by Taylor
Automotive in Auckland. The suspension was rebuilt with new
bushes while the Moss four-speed gearbox was deemed to be
in excellent condition after a thorough inspection.
As part of Roger’s restoration work, the Jaguar was converted
to RHD, a relatively straightforward task although it did involve
swapping over the two sides of the wood dashboard, work
that was done by a specialist. Roger refinished the dashboard
centre and other items of wood trim himself.
A new wiring loom was fitted and the one broken side of
the car’s ‘V’ windscreen was replaced, along with the missing
chrome surround. Moving into the car’s interior, John McKechnie
Motor Trimming was tasked with reupholstering the leather
seats and fitting new headlining, while Roger handled the
