This wonderful example was dispatched new to the USA in left hand drive guise. More recently the XK120 was acquired and imported to the UK by a specialist restorer who undertook a huge amount of work to get it to the condition you see today. The chassis was stripped and restored as were the panels which were stripped back to bare metal and repaired and replaced where necessary and an extensive respray was undertaken in the superb colour you see today. The XK benefits from an interior trim kit which is supplied with the car and a set of new tyres. Other works that have been completed include an overhaul of the instruments, new wiring loom, and refurbished chromework. The list of works goes on and the XK comes complete with all the essential parts to complete the restoration including the suspension which has been overhauled and ready to fit, engine block and ancillaries and many chrome fittings. The opportunity to acquire an XK120 in this condition is very rare, it wouldn’t take much to complete this project and once done it will offer the new owner huge amounts of fun and will surely be a sound investment. Offered at a fraction of the cost of the build, this is a great example and a straightforward project in the right hands. Offered with a history file including sundry bills, the US title document, its Heritage Certificate and photographs of the car. Interested parties should note that this XK was purchased by the vendor in need of total restoration, when complete and ready for registration the new owner will be required to pay the import tax which we believe will cost circa £1,000 (this is an estimated cost and cannot be guarantee).
