Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The Jaguar XK120 market in Australia is signaling weakness, with the median price standing at AUD $110,711 and a 10.9 percent decline over the past year. This downward momentum reflects a broader softening in the segment despite the model's enduring status as a highly collectible classic.

With only two recorded transactions in the past twelve months, liquidity remains severely constrained in the Australian market. The absence of active listings further underscores the illiquid nature of these cars, making both entry and exit challenging for participants.

The XK120 sits firmly in the highly collectible tier with a score of 7, supported by production of 12,055 units across its run—sufficient scarcity to retain collector appeal. Desirability is moderate rather than exceptional, which may explain the recent price depreciation despite the model's engineering significance.

Base projections suggest material downside over the medium term, with valuations forecast to fall 23.3 percent by year three and 29.4 percent by year five from current levels. These forecasts are built on the assumption that current market dynamics persist without intervention from renewed collector demand or supply constraints.

The combination of falling prices, thin transaction volume, and no active listings suggests prospective buyers should approach this market cautiously. Sellers holding inventory may face headwinds; waiting for improved momentum or market conditions appears prudent given the projected trajectory.
