Offered at auction by Bonhams in Monaco on May 10, 2008.
Description reads:
Delivered new to France, the car previously belonged to well known French Jaguar enthusiast, Dr Marc Hevia, and was French-registered ‘120 RW 16’ in his name. The car was sold to current owner in April 2001, having been treated to a complete ‘body off’ restoration and re-spray in the 1990s. Slightly ‘hotter’ camshafts were installed at that time, while other noteworthy features include a Kenlowe electric fan, extra oil cooler, modern choke mechanism, fog lamps and a stainless steel exhaust system. The odometer currently displays a total of 29,474 kilometres and the car remains very clean and well presented. Offered from a well-known Belgian private collection, it is being sold solely due to lack of current use by the vendor.
Finished in Old English White with blue leather interior, carpets and soft-top, ‘678392’ boasts disc wheels and rear spats and is offered with Belgian ‘Oldtimer’ registration papers and FIA Category E pass issued by the RACB’s historic section in 2004. All in all a very nicely presented car, used regularly and an excellent driver.
Estimate: 75/95 K.EUR (135 K USD)

Car now offered by above owner:

Description:
Rarest of the three XK120 variants (only 1,769 Drophead Coupés were built compared with 7,631 Roadsters and 2,678 Fixed Head Coupés) this left-hand drive drophead represents Jaguar's classic XK sports car in its early, purest form.
Delivered new to France, the car previously belonged to well known French Jaguar enthusiast, Dr Marc Hevia from Angoulème, and was treated in his ownership to a complete 'body off' restoration and respray in the 1990s. This comprehensive restoration is very well documented by lots of photographs.
Slightly 'hotter' camshafts were installed at that time, while other noteworthy features include a Kenlowe electric fan, extra oil cooler, modern choke mechanism, fog lamps and a stainless steel exhaust system.
The car was sold to my Belgian customer approx. 10 years ago to become part of this well-known Brussels based private collection containing more than 50 super-quality cars!
Easy to understand that this XK120 wasn't used that often and still remains 10 years later in a very clean, overall immaculate presentation.
Finished in Old English White with blue leather interior, carpets and soft-top, '678392' is offered with Belgian 'Oldtimer' registration papers and FIA Category E pass issued by the RACB's historic section in 2004.
On the road this Jaguar drophead is a real joy to drive offering swift performances and great comfort at once.
At my selling price of 86.500 euro any enthusiast who buys this stylish XK120 DHC will be sure to obtain at the same time an excellent driver and a rolling sculture for many more years to enjoy.
