1951 Jaguar XK120 Coupé
£120,000 - 150,000
US$ 190,000 - 240,000

Auction 21904: The Bond Street Sale
30 Nov 2014 14:00 GMT
Registration no. XFO 208
Chassis no. 679132
Engine no. W3973-8

Number '679132' is one of 2,484 left-hand drive fixed-head coupés constructed on the XK120 chassis. The car was purchased by master restorer Nigel Dawes and totally restored by him for his personal use, a process that took around five years in the 1990s and was completed to concours standards. Nigel Dawes' specification for this car is mouth-watering. It includes a seam-welded chassis, and suspension up-rated with competition torsion bars and anti-roll bars, and Spax adjustable shock absorbers. In addition, there are disc brakes fitted to all four wheels (with four-pot callipers at the front) and the car also features rack-and-pinion steering and Borrani aluminium wire wheels. The engine is fitted with a C-type cylinder head, with unleaded conversion, and is said to produce 230bhp, which is delivered to the road via a four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox with overdrive.

Externally, the car has a louvered bonnet with leather retaining strap; a Monza-type quick-release fuel filler cap; lightweight aluminium bumpers, over-riders, door and boot handles; and high quality Perspex side and rear windows. Internally it boasts the finest cockpit imaginable, with D-Type speedometer and rev counter; oil pressure, oil temperature and water temperature gauges; dash-mounted aircraft air vents; and a floor-mounted aircraft fuel tank switch. For rallying there is a Smiths 8-day clock with stopwatch and trip; a Heuer Monte Carlo clock and stopwatch; and a Halda Speed Pilot. The ensemble is finished off with a four-spoke polished wood-rim steering wheel and drilled alloy control pedals. Finished in green with matching leather interior, this comprehensively improved XK120 coupé is offered with an old-style logbook, current MoT and V5C document.
