Sellers description:
Direct from a private museum, one of the first of a batch of ten assorted classic cars that have been kept in an air conditioned storage barn for years.
This particular car is a 1952 Jaguar XK120 OTS Roadster, the car is at least 97% rust free and this will save you thousands of dollars in restoration costs as there is no need to change large amounts of sheet metal, the other incredible thing is that this is obviously a matching numbers car and 100% complete and it show 48,000 which in my mind there is no doubt that this is genuine. Because it was stored correctly nothing is siezed up or rusted away and this will be a very easy restoration. The car is Bondo free, accident damage free and has a superb solid body. The car was last pained in 1975 in a preservation coat of light gray and still have the original interior, although the funky metallic blue vinyl on the seats is not correct. It is pretty obvious that this is a very valuable car that rarely become available in unrestored condition with low milage and even rarer become available from high end private collectors.
