Auction description:
Lot 035: 1955 JAGUAR XK120SE ROADSTER
Van Dijk Collection, H&H Classic Auctions Ltd (3rd October 2005)
Finished in red with matching leather upholstery and a black mohair hood, this particular left-hand drive example has been part of the collection since 1995. A late 'Special Equipment' model (or so the quoted chassis number would indicate), its dashboard carries a plaque that reads as follows: "Certified that this Jaguar car is a replica of the record breaking car which achieved the speed of 141.51mph at Jabbeke, Belgium. Certified by W.M. Heynes Chief Engineer". While an underbonnet inspection reveals the presence of 'C-type' cam covers and twin SU carburettors that look (a) to have sand cast dashpots and (b) to be rather larger than standard (casting number 4866). Further benefiting from silver-painted wire wheels, manual four-speed transmission and Lucas M5 spotlamps, this gorgeous XK120 looks to have undergone extensive restoration in the past (though, sadly there are no details on file).

LAS178 is on 674221 (which is listed on this site). I have no idea of the correct registration number of this car.
