    An unidentified chassis is going to be at auction 6/19 with motor W5955-8S. Bonhams reports that the Chassis No. is not currently readable. With some forensics it may be made visible but until that time it can't be assumed to be this car.

    Auction description.
    Lot 201

    Here lie the remains of an XK120 chassis, engine, transmission, suspension, fuel tank, and wire wheels. Remarkably, the owner had left to attend school in the fall of 1963 and upon returning the car was gone. It wasn't until years later that he found it in the spot it sits today. The whereabouts of the body remain unknow, but the remaining components have largely been preserved thanks to the roof overhead. This unearthed artifact makes a perfect candidate for a rebodied special or simply a parts car.

    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?
