    Car to be at Barons 9/10
    www.barons-auctions.com/details.php

    Auction description:
    Model XK120 Roadster
    First Registered 1952
    Registration No 579XUX
    Engine No W4608-8
    Chassis No 679574
    MOT Feb 2011
    Colour Ecurie Ecosse Blue
    Offered here is a truly superb 1952 Roadster, which has covered just 250 miles since the completion of a 3 year, nut and bolt restoration, using all new panels from Guy Broad. The car was originally supplied to New York dealer Max Hoffman in April 1952 and is complete with a comprehensive history file.

    Finished in stunning Ecurie Ecosse Blue with grey leather bucket seats, navy mohair hood and tonneau cover, the car sits on wire wheels, is equipped with am SE exhaust system and a louvered bonnet.

    A truly superb example of a rebuilt XK120 offering staggering value for money.

    Note: The eagle eye among you will have spotted that the car has a FHC chassis number. This is because the car started life as a FHC but was rebuilt as a Roadster during restoration. As stated in the description, the car was originally supplied to a New York dealer, so would have been left hand drive when new. This why the car is not £100.000++++.

    Estimate £57000-65000

    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?
