Maybe the best anywhere is a little exaggerated.
I think mine is better.

Location: New Zealand

This restoration was performed in New Zealand by old school craftsmen.
All the alloy panels were hand shaped using "hammer and file" with not an ounce of filler used anywhere
Exhaustive documentation is available on its history and restoration, including over a hundred photographs.
​There is far too much information to list here (about 150 Mb) so any interested party can contact us and we can provide this in any format.
This is an incredibly rare vehicle, being original Right Hand Drive #660046 with certified matching numbers from Jaguar Heritage.

It has a fully documented history, as detailed in the books "The Jaguar XK in Australia" and "The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere" by John Elmgreen and Terry McGrath. It was originally imported to Australia in 1950 by Bryson's, the Australian Distributor for Jaguar. Every owner is known and identified and its history includes racing at Bathurst in the 1950's. It has undergone a 100% total restoration, with every defective part and panel replaced or re-made by artisan craftsmen in New Zealand. Every mechanical part has been totally rebuilt, using all the original parts. Almost all the original Alloy cars have now left Australia, making this is an absolutely unrepeatable opportunity to secure a major part of Australia's motoring history.

"Simply the best available anywhere."?

The person who wrote this should have been a politician. Apart from the absurd clock and odometer adjusters (could they not be bothered to find the correct ones?), the too-long tailpipe, I think the dash should be biscuit colour. And we cannot see under the bonnet, so what else is incorrect?

It's the claim above that irritates me, not these perhaps-minor faults.

All numbers are certified correct and matching by Jaguar Heritage (certificate available):

This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a well known and fully documented RHD Alloy bodied XK120.

It is of totally original specification right down to the toolkit and with Jaguar authenticated matching engine, gearbox and chassis numbers

A full body off restoration has being painstakingly completed to the highest possible standards, not just in the paint and chrome, but more importantly in the structural integrity of the car.

The restoration was completed in 2006 and the car has since been housed in a private residence in New Zealand.

It is effectively as turned out by Jaguar in 1949 - has been correctly maintained in an environmentally controlled environment and not been driven or used since its restoration was completed 15 years ago. It is still in same pristine condition throughout as it was when the restoration was completed.

Very substantial information is available of the restoration, the cars history and specification

It is priced to sell ex New Zealand
