I'm an attorney trying to help a estate sell several cars, and can't read the chassis number on the plate. Are you able to tell me the chassis number that originally went with the engine, body, and gearbox number above? Thank you

This 1951 Jaguar XK120 is a left-hand-drive roadster that was first delivered in New York, and it underwent a body-off refurbishment in 1993–1994 at Pollack Auto Restoration in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The car has been refinished in white over a red interior, and power is provided by a 3.4-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a removable tan soft top, a split windshield, Smiths instrumentation, rear wheel spats, and 16″ steel wheels with Jaguar-logo hubcaps. It was acquired by the seller in 2019 following a period of storage, and subsequent service included performing an oil change, a fuel system flush, and replacement of the batteries. This XK120 is now offered in Pennsylvania with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, photos of the refurbishment, a tonneau cover, and a clean Montana title in the name of the seller’s LLC.

The car was disassembled and the body was stripped of paint and refinished in white in 1994. Exterior features include split front bumpers, rear bumperettes, a split windshield, dual side mirrors, and rear wheel spats, which are shown in place and removed in the gallery below. A removable tan soft top, side curtains, and wing windows are included in the sale, and the seller notes a paint crack in the left-front wheel well as well as scratches caused by removal of the soft top.

Body-color 16″ steel wheels feature chrome trim rings and Jaguar-logo hubcaps and wear 6.00-16 Michelin tires.

The cabin was also refurbished during prior ownership and features red leather upholstery on the seats, door panels, and padded dashboard, along with matching carpets.

The four-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer, a reverse-sweep tachometer, and ancillary gauges. The odometer was reportedly reset during the refurbishment and now shows under 700 miles. Total mileage is unknown.

The 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six is equipped with dual SU carburetors and polished camshaft covers, and it was disassembled and rebuilt in 1994. The car was reportedly stored during prior ownership, and service in 2019 included performing an oil change, flushing the fuel system, and replacement of the batteries.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that was also rebuilt during the refurbishment, and the frame was stripped and finished in black. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery below.

A data plate is shown above and lists body, engine, and gearbox numbers, and the chassis, engine. The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate shows the original configuration and colors, along with serial numbers for the chassis, engine, body, and gearbox.
