Ebay item 5/19/18 www.ebay.com/itm/1953-Jaguar-XK/113001524183
Classified ad price: $39,000, seller raojis, 78k miles.
Sellers description:
Highly desirable LHD US-delivery Special Equipment Model
Numbers-Matching as verified by the JDHT Certificate
Incredibly solid condition and attractive original colors
There are also those who love the cars just for what they are and can appreciate the patina of a car like this. The XK120 SE Drophead Coupe presented here offers so many options for the next lucky owner.
This original left-hand drive Special Equipment Drophead Coupe was completed on May 8, 1953, and dispatched to the U.S. on May 15, 1953 through Hoffman Motor Car Co. in New York.
To enhance the motoring experience - this particular 120 was fitted with the more powerful Special Equipment package. The SE Model (known as XK120M in the States) gave a power boost to 180bhp using high lift camshafts and carburetors. The 120 also features lightweight aluminum hood, doors, and trunk. Wire wheels and fog lights were fitted as standard, as was overdrive. The options and original specifications are verified by the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate which is included with the sale.
This XK120 DHC benefits from great previous ownership of 25+ years. It appears to have received a ground-up restoration quite some time ago with strong patina throughout and a beautiful nostalgic appearance in its original factory colors and woodwork.
Acquired recently in non-running condition we have turned the engine over, but additional servicing will be required before driving. A service of the brakes and a thorough check over of the mechanicals will be required before driving.
It is important to note that this car is completely solid and with no corrosion issues. All of the numbers match including the engine block, head, transmission and body.

Recieved a warning message from Ebay about this car because I contacted the seller. This does not seem to be his account.
So, buyers beware!!!
