    Originally manufactured in left-hand drive configuration, this late XK120 fixed-head coupé was imported into the UK from California, USA in 1995 by the current vendor, who has owned it for the past 16 years. Its restoration completed in 2009, the car boasts a number of performance-enhancing modifications to include a 3.8-litre E-Type engine, Getrag five-speed gearbox, rack-and-pinion steering and Coopercraft front disc brakes. 'KZ 7826' is finished in Suede Green with tan leather interior, the latter newly re-trimmed, while other noteworthy features include a louvred bonnet and 3" extra legroom. This comprehensively upgraded XK120 is offered with sundry restoration invoices, current/MoT tax and Swansea V5 registration document.

    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?
