Description
1950 Jaguar XK120 Original Alloy Roadster
Chassis Number 660055. This car was built on the 1st March 1950 and is one of only 57 right hand drive Alloy Roadsters built and has its original UK Coventry registration JWK 377 that is close to the works team cars. The original owner was Captain Jim Atkinson who raced and rallied the car extensively over the ensuing years. There is a fascinating history file that contains many photos of the car racing in the early days of its life. Captain Atkinson kept the XK until his death in 1986. The present owner bought it in 2000 and set about a total restoration. The engine was rebuilt by Les Trafford, body restoration by John Brown of Leaping Cats and paintwork by Steve Grimsley of Phoenix Restoration. Most of the detail work and assembly was undertaken by John May of XK Developments. This is an exceptional example of a rare XK120 and is supplied with a complete history file of owners from new and many early photos plus a complete photographic record of its restoration with a folder full of invoices.
