Make Jaguar Model XK120 Drop Head Coupe

Produced in 1953 this particular XK120 was sold by PJ Evans Jaguar, Birmingham to a Mr Chalon of Bromsgrove. Finished in its original Pastel Green with suede green interior the car carries the original buff log book from 1962. In 1968 the car was taken off the road to begin repairs and sat unused in the back of an MOT centre until 2000. Between 2000 and 2006 the XK underwent an extensive restoration that is comprehensively recorded with receipts and photographs that can be found in the history file. The car has just had a full service and thorough inspection, including an MOT test (from which it is, of course, exempt). The interior and hood were restored by marque specialists CMC and still looks as it did when it left the workshop.

As one of few remaining original UK delivered XK120 drop head coupes, this charming example is presented in one of the most desirable colour combinations and very sensibly reserved. This truly is an opportunity not to be missed by any Jaguar enthusiast or discerning collector.
