Addendum

Please note that the aluminum cylinder head is believed to be a replacement and stamped to match.

This 1950 XK 120 is believed to be the 291st of just 1,025 OTS (open two-seater) roadsters produced that year. Today the car is finished in black paint over biscuit leather. The currently equipped aluminum cylinder head is believed to be a replacement and stamped to match. With the intent of making this car a highly enjoyable driver for both daily use and event purposes, the current owner installed a modern Tremec five-speed manual transmission. An original-type four-speed gearbox and driveshaft removed from the car are both included in the sale, giving one the option to return to period specification if desired. In addition to the spare original-type gearbox and driveshaft, this lot includes matching side curtains, an appropriate service manual, tool roll, spare wheel, and jack.
