Grande Marques 2005
An Important Auction of British and Continental Sports & Touring Cars, Toys, Models and Automobilia
Saturday 15th January 2005
Lot 260 Jaguar XK120 Roadster
Registration no: EU taxes paid
Chassis no: 671452
Estimate: €39,000-44,000
The example on show today was reportedly sold initially to the United States of America, making this left hand drive equally desirable elsewhere on the continent. The condition of the paint and trim are described by the owner as being very original, the general patina of the car certainly suggests so. Some modern improvements have been added however, most importantly, the complete renovation of the braking system including the fitment of a duel circuit and the complete replacement of the electrical systems, right down to the loom and dynamo. With new side screens and hood, the most current bills total over E10,000. The regular servicing intervals mentioned by the vendor account for the good driving experience with the temperatures of both oil and water remaining constant. Aesthetically, the timeless grace of the XK120 is even more enhanced by the spats on the rear wheels and competition louvers employed in the bonnet. With European taxes paid in Germany, although un-registered in the UK, these timeless sweeping lines with the added security of a modern style braking system make for great classic motoring.

Car to return to auction 5/14
www.bonhams.com/auctions/21901/lot/46/

Auction description:
Lot 46
1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster
Chassis no. 671452 Engine no. W3291-8
€85,000 - 115,000
US$ 120,000 - 160,000
This left-hand drive XK120 roadster was delivered new to the USA and retains matching chassis, engine and body numbers. Restored at a date unknown, it has been well repainted and runs silently and powerfully, while the electrics have been renewed and the braking system upgraded to dual-circuit operation. In 2004 the XK was sold at auction in the UK and shortly thereafter found a new home in Germany, where it was then registered. In 2008 the car was imported into Italy and registered there before coming to Belgium. The XK is finished in silver metallic with contrasting red leather interior and black soft-top, its graceful lines being further enhanced by the presence of rear wheel spats. Affording the prospect of an exhilarating driving experience, the car is offered with Form 705, (copy) German Fahrzeugbrief, Italian libretto and Certificato di Proprieta.
