    First car of the first batch of 6 XK 120 delivered to Dublin as Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits.
    I believe this one was registered ZL 454; is anyone able to confirm this?

    ZL454 was the demonstrator imported complete in 1950.

    742 was the first in sequence and second registered of the CKD cars in 1951 and had a well known first owner in Ireland.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
