Car requires a full restoration. I have begun by removing parts then the body will be lifted off. I hope to finish in about 1 year. This will be my 20+ restoration!

The body number is incorrect. F 7604 is already on 675329 which is a match

Additional description from above auction:
Resplendent in Old English White and red leather, this final-year XK120 Roadster from 1954 is the product of a body-off-frame restoration performed in 2011 to concours-level standards by David Villalovos of Littleton, Colorado's Mountainview Auto Restoration. In testament to its quality, this XK120 won the 2012 JCNA Western Regional Championship with a score of 99.65 out of 100 points possible. The XK120 also earned People's Choice and First Place (Class C2) honors at the September 2012 JCSC Concours d'Elegance, scoring 99.49 points on that outing. In addition to a set of restored side curtains, the XK120 is equipped with a stainless-steel dual-outlet exhaust system, and proper 54-spoke chrome wire wheels. Continuing to benefit from its multiple-award-winning restoration, it is a wonderful example of one of the finest and most influential sporting cars of all time.

This beautiful XK120 Roadster - or Open Two-Seater as officially called in the day - first roared to life inside Jaguar's Coventry facility on April 1, 1954, towards the very end of XK120 production. Originally finished in Birch Grey over an interior trimmed in red, this left-hand drive Roadster was destined for the US market and was dispatched to Hoffman Motor Car Company in New York on April 9, 1954. The car has likely remained within the United States since.
The XK120 was later treated to a full body-off restoration finished in 2011 by Colorado-based Mountain View Restorations. The restoration involved taking the car apart and soda blasting parts down to bare metal. Then, reassembling it and perfecting the fit of the fenders, doors, hood, trunk lid and their latching mechanisms. Then the car was taken apart again, and the individual pieces painted. While that was being done the engine - a correct 3.4-Liter unit from a later XK150 - was overhauled, the frame was stripped and painted, and mechanical systems were overhauled (brakes, suspension, cooling, exhaust, electrical, etc.) and the modifications for the new 5-speed transmission were made. Lastly, after the body and frame were back together, a new interior and top by BAS Ltd was installed.
Once completed, the Jaguar would go on to tour the Western US Concours fields, and rack up many Best in Show, People's Choice, and Best in Class awards. Many of them JCNA (Jaguar Clubs of North America) nationally sanctioned shows, and the run was topped by winning the Southwest Regional Championship (Best XK120 in the Southwest US) and becoming a JCNA champion in 2012 with 99.65 points scored of 100 possible.
Today this XK120 is well-sorted throughout and ready to be enjoyed by its next owner, on spirited open-air drives, touring events, or car shows. Fitted with chrome wire-wheels shod on correct fresh Michelin tires, the car looks just right. The Jaguar-issued Heritage Trust Certificate accompanies the car along with an original owner's manual, tool roll and tire pump. Offered from a prominent Florida-based collection of show winning European sportscars, this spectacular XK120 Roadster offers a great opportunity to acquire a both stunningly beautiful and engaging driver's car, eligible for various prominent events.

According to its Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, this exceptional XK 120 Roadster emerged from Jaguar's Coventry works on 1 April 1954, finished in Birch Grey with Red upholstery. Delivered to Hoffman Motor Car Company of New York just days later, this left-hand drive example is thought to have remained stateside since new. In 2011, Mountain View Restorations of Colorado executed a comprehensive body-off restoration. The process included soda blasting the body to bare metal, precise panel fitment, and meticulous application of period-correct Old English White paint. The drivetrain received later and further improved 3.4-Liter unit, fully overhauled, while the chassis underwent complete mechanical refurbishment including brakes, suspension, cooling and electrical systems. A five-speed transmission and aluminum radiator were integrated, while BAS Ltd. trimmed a new red leather interior and black soft top.
The Jaguar's exceptional restoration earned numerous accolades at Western U.S. Concours events, including multiple Best in Show and Class honors. Notable achievements included winning the JCNA Southwest Regional Championship and achieving JCNA championship status in 2012 with a near-perfect score of 99.65 points. This impeccably prepared XK 120 presents beautifully today, with the trunk carrying its original service manual, tool roll, jack, knock-off hammer, tire pump, side curtains, and matching wire spare. Well maintained since being acquired by its current Nevada-based owner in 2022, including a recently installed fuel pump, this stunning roadster combines show-winning presentation with engaging driving dynamics, making it ideal for both concours and numerous vintage rallies.
