1954 XK120 SE Roadster LHD for sale .

This car has spent almost all of its life in California . It is a very rare matching numbers car ( VIN S676110 / Engine F38068-S) . If you know what you are looking for you will know how rare this car is . The Original Colour is powder Blue - rather than its current canary yellow! The chassis has no rust. The underside is superb. The body has no filler anywhere and the panel gap is amazing . This is a very very original car, it even has the original radiator & horn still . The car also has the rare option of Aluminium Racing bucket seats.The previous owner had owned the car for almost 30 years before I purchased. The car is UK registered. I advise viewing if you are interested . The car is currently being stored for me in Essex ( Near Maldon) and i can arrange for someone to be present for viewing. JD CLASSICS have a similar finished car for over £200k to give you an idea of how desirable this car will be when finished.

Not sold is obviously an error. It is reported in the August 2013 XK Gazette that it sold for GBP33k + premium.
