Auction description:
Jaguar XK120 Roadster Goodwood Revival Collectors' Motor Cars and Automobilia, 7 September 2024
Chichester, Goodwood
This XK120 Roadster comes with its original UK buff logbook dated 11th February 1953 when the car was registered to Kennings Ltd. There are six further keepers listed in the logbook. Also on file are various old MoTs for the registration 'PWB 300' dating from the late 1970s and early 1980s, together with a letter dated 1955 from a Mr Eske of Sheffield in relation to the XK, stating that the wire wheels and C-type camshafts were fitted by Jaguar. The letter also states that the XK develops 210bhp and that it returns 13-14mpg on high-speed drives. In 1974 the car featured on the cover of Jaguar Drivers magazine (November edition, copy on file).
In 1984 the XK120 was imported into Australia. Related customs documents are on file together with a letter dated 1985 from Yaldens PTY Ltd of Victoria to a Mr Wallis regarding his purchase of the car. Extensive invoices accumulated throughout the 1990s while the car was owned by Mr Wallis are on file. Our vendor purchased the XK120 in 2003 (bill on file). A committed Jaguar enthusiast, he is bringing the XK120 to the Goodwood Revival meeting to be sold as part of his collection of three Jaguar cars.
