    Car to be at auction 3/14
    www.coys.co.uk/auction.php

    Auction description:
    Lot 107 - 1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster
    Estimate: €75,000 - €85,000
    Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
    Chassis Number: 671889

    We are pleased to offer today's early example, which was delivered new to New York in 1952. The car remained in the USA for several decades until it was repatriated back to Europe in 2004.

    Chassis 671889 resided in a private collection and has been the subject of restoration work. It was decided to repaint the car in its original colour of Birch Grey and the original red interior was retained as it displays a wonderful patina.

    Complete with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, a copy of the USA title and customs papers from Italy showing EU taxes are paid; along with its original handbook and a history file, this sympathetically refurbished car is offered at a most attractive estimate.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
