My father and I purchased 660018 in the early 1980's as a restoration project. Initially we didn't realise what a unique and special car it was, being one of the very first hand built aluminium bodies cars. It was the 18th RHD example to leave the factory in December 1949 and sold new in Adelaide in early 1950. We fully restored the car to a very high standard regularly winning the local concourse and winning a 3rd in the 1996 National Jaguar Concourse. We sold the car to a collector from the UK. I believe the car is still in the UK. I have many photos of the car before, during and after the restoration is anyone is interested.

It would be nice to see some photos of 660018 in it's previous life,

This car is mentioned in Practical Classics magazine Nov. 1980 in a letter from the then owner Michael Robinson of Sydney Australia. He purchased it in a very dilapidated condition from a farm where it had been left in a paddock for seven years. He was seeking advice to restore the car. There is a photo of the car as found.
It would appear that he then sold it on soon after to Mr Clement (see above).
Mr Robinson said he also owned the following 667912, S830141, and 660560.
I would be interested in seeing photos of the car when owned by Mr Clement.

"We claimed 120 mph (for the XK 120), a speed unheard of for a production car in those days." - William Heynes, Chief Engineer, Jaguar Cars.

The car offered here is one of the rare alloy-bodied roadsters built by Jaguar at the commencement of XK120 production. Car number '18' of 57 produced with right-hand drive, '660018' left the Jaguar factory on 11th November 1949 bound for Dominion Motors in Adelaide, Australia. Finished in Cream with Biscuit/Red leather interior and a Sand hood, '660018' is a beautiful and highly original example of what is recognised as one of Jaguar's most desirable models. The original build details are confirmed by the accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate.

This beautiful alloy XK120 was first owned by a Mr Ron Angas, who kept the car for many years before it was purchased by Jaguar collector, Dean Willis. In 1985 he sold the XK to the Clement family, who carried out extensive restoration work and showed the car at various events, winning multiple awards. The car changed hands in 1999, remaining with the new custodian for two decades, including a lengthy stint in Hong Kong. In 2017 the Jaguar returned to the UK, where marque specialists CMC UK were commissioned to carry out a full restoration to impeccable condition with no expense spared. Related invoices on file show that more than £240,000 was spent.

In 2021 this car was purchased by a prominent collector, joining his sizeable collection in Germany. The car retains its German registration, and during this period it has been driven, serviced and fastidiously maintained. All of the work carried out on this car, dating back to its original sale in 1949, is detailed in the comprehensive history file.

Resplendent in its original specification, and restored to the absolute highest standard, this Jaguar XK120 alloy-bodied roadster is presented in remarkable condition.
