Lot 136

A 1951 Jaguar XK120 roadster, registration number VDR 120, chassis number 660545, engine number W2826-7, bronze. This original right hand drive roadster was originally supplied by Henley's to its original owner a Mr Oswald Salvador with a registration MGT 883. Our vendor purchased the Jaguar in the summer of 1969 at the tender age of 19 for the princely sum of £190. In the intervening 49 years the XK has been used in competition (Wiscombe hill climb with the Aston Martin Owners Club), touring with the Jaguar Owners Club and going to the pub. In 2010 the XK was the subject of a body off restoration. The chassis was hot dipped galvanized, the rear springs are nine leaf alpine items, a thicker anti-roll bar and Mk II steering bushes were fitted, the rear axle was replaced with a Salisbury item, disc brakes were fitted all round and the chassis sits on 16 inch 54 spoke wire wheels. The original 3. 4 litre engine block has been bored out to 3. 8 litre with 9:1 compression ratio pistons. The head is a later straight port gas flowed item with high lift camshafts and lead free valves and seats (original stud less head is available with the car) and carburation is taking care of with 2 inch SUs. The body was stripped to bare metal and all necessary repairs were carried out before a full respray in the original colour of bronze (during the paint removal several colours were found before the original colour). The interior has been re-trimmed in two tone tan leather with matching carpets (two spare drivers spare carpets come with the car) and the steering wheel is a smaller diameter leather rimmed example to allow the very tall driver access (no original steering wheel available). All of this hard work has resulted in a very driveable XK which the vendor says will be sorely missed. The Jaguar will be offered for auction with a history file containing receipts, service details, MOTs, photographs of the restoration, Heritage certificate and numerous spares. V5C, MOT and tax exempt

£80000-90000 + 13. 2% Buyers premium (including 20% VAT)
