Lot details Registration No: VSU 680 Chassis No: 680451 Mot Expiry: None
The XK120 Roadster caused a sensation when launched at the London Motorshow of 1948. Capable of 120mph and more, it immediately assumed the mantle of the world's fastest production car. The equally elegant Fixed-Head Coupe version followed in 1951 with the Drophead Coupe arriving two years later. This FHC example has been converted from left- to right-hand drive and is finished in Maroon with Tan leather upholstery. In order to further improve the driving experience it has been uprated with rack-and-pinion steering and XJ6 disc brakes. The vendor informs us that the Jaguar's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, six-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox are all in "very good" order. A fresh MOT is expected by the time of sale and the odometer currently shows 56,269 unwarranted miles.
PLEASE NOTE: This lot is currently undergoing a number plate transfer. A new Northern Ireland Registration Document will be forwarded to the successful purchaser.
