There is a Very Similar XK120 OTS in Black with Biscuit coming to auction the end of this month in September, being owned by Sir William Lyon’s Son, it has an Estimate of £180, 000-£220, 000. In Contrast, this proves Exceptional Value for Money and a Great Classic Investment.
The Jaguar XK120, so named due to it’s capability of doing 120 MPH. It was the fastest production car in the World when it was produced. In 1949 a prototype achieved 132. 5 MPH. Then in 1953 Norman Dewis achieved 172. 4 MPH over a flying mile in Belgium in a modified XK120.
The Perfect Car for those wishing to compete on the Mille Miglia, as it is one of the few cars listed on the prestigious eligibility list.
Great for attending Goodwood Revival, or trips to the French Riviera.
It Runs and Drives so Perfectly and it Very Comfortable, I Would Have no Qualms doing European Trips, which the Last Owner Used to Love doing.
Viewing, Test Drive and Inspections are More than Welcome. I also have a Video Walkaround for any Interest Parties.
I Could Deliver with a Covered in Trailer for Anyone Wanting Nationwide Delivery
