Sellers description:
1953 Jaguar XK120 for a good friend. This XK 120 sold new to a buyer in Hudson, NY in 1953. Car was bought by present owners husband in 1960. The ownership was transferred to his wife in 1964. Car has a clean transferable registration and was only used for personal use. This Jaguar has only 43,666 miles on odometer and has been stored in modern garage since the mid 1960's. Last registered in the mid-1960's. Interior was removed and car repainted 10 years ago by local body shop. Chrome parts, bumpers, taillights, windshield, etc. send to shop in Connecticut shop and re-chromed. Car presently not running and needs some electrical work. Also needs some reassembly, such as tail lights, windshield, and convertible top. Have most all original interior parts but some parts like the inner door panels and soft top would need replacing. Two extra spoke wheels and also have the original steering wheel. Also some extra parts. Nice clean, unaltered, rust free body XK 120 and should be desirable to right buyer. Expensive body work and re-chrome work already completed.

Questions on the VIN for this listing. Getting the same question from all over of course. We have to list by how the car has been registered in New York State in the present owner's name for almost 50 years. But as you state this VIN # is different from the Chassis #s for XK120 Jaguars. Only other number we have in paperwork is #673048 and I will add that to car description for all bidders today. However, Anders Clausager's Jaguar XK120 in detail, has OTS LHD Chassis #673048 as a 1952 calendar year model and/but that could also possibly be correct. Confusing but this may have often happened with all the different numbers on these cars when they were originally registered in the states and the calendar year could also have been mixed up, depending on when the vehicle was sold, etc.
