Retains its original engine and bodywork

Restored by marque specialist in lovely dark blue over tan

This fabulous example left the Browns Lane factory in March 1959 finished in Carmen Red with a matching red leather interior and fawn soft top, fitted with manual overdrive. It was destined for Frank Cavey’s dealership in Dublin and sold new the following month. Cavey had a close working relationship with Sir William Lyons assembling cars in Ireland—his factory’s XK120 achieved 3rd at the 1951 Monte Carlo rally. The first owner was J Goodman of Dundalk. Today the car retains its original engine and bodywork and has been restored to a gorgeous colour scheme of dark blue over beige leather. Presented in wonderful condition, it would surely be a thrill to drive and enjoy.
