Auction description:
Auction Lot: 1953 JAGUAR XK120 ROADSTER
Exceptional Motor Cars, Christies (4th June 2006)
Overview
Lavender Grey with biscuit and red duotone interior
Engine: six cylinder, in-line, twin overhead camshafts, 3,442cc, 160bhp at 5,000rpm; Gearbox: four speed manual; Suspension: front, independent, rear, semi-elliptic leaves; Brakes: four wheel hydraulic drums. Left hand drive.

The Roadster offered here was built on 14 July 1953, dispatched 14 days later, and sold through importer Max Hoffman to its first owner, Mr. David Winne of West Hempstead, New York. It subsequently passed through Russ Sceli of Hartford, Connecticut to J&L Service Station of South Windsor, Connecticut, in 1959 before being sold to local James Jorgensen in September the same year. The car was still in the care of the Jorgensen family come 1974.

Restoration has clearly been carried out over the last few years, and this XK120 is presented in wonderful condition. Lavender grey paintwork is well complimented by dark burgundy wheels fitted with proper Michelin X radio tires, and the original-spec 'biscuit and red duotone' interior has an immaculate feel to it. Further all brightwork is original and has been rechromed and appears in excellent condition. The Jaguar benefits from a new top while utilizing the original side curtains. Regularly run and maintained by a noted English car mechanic, this car would be an on-the-button compliment to any garage.

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?
