LOT: 181

Estimate:

$100,000-$125,000 US

Chassis No. 678068

$71,500 USD | Sold

This lovely XK120 was acquired by the current owner last year from Kyle Grim of Columbus, Ohio, who specializes in Jaguar restorations and is well respected in the industry. Grim’s restoration was a complete frame-up project that lasted about one year. As presented, the car is finished in red with a tan interior with lovely woodwork. A matching numbers example, the engine was outfitted with the upgraded C-Type cylinder head during restoration. Since its acquisition, the car has been driven sparingly and has been maintained in the owner’s climate controlled garage. Additionally, the vendor commissioned additional mechanical and electrical work to ensure the car runs and drives without any problems. All of the maintenance records will be available for review in the auction office onsite at Amelia Island. A well sorted example, complete with the proper tool roll, it is ready to be driven and enjoyed by its next owner.

Exterior features include a folding Khaki-fawn soft-top and roll-up windows integrated into the door frames. The interior is trimmed in Connolly Biscuit leather and is complemented by burled walnut trim throughout the cockpit. The cabin layout includes a wood-trimmed dashboard and leather seating surfaces consistent with the drophead configuration. This example underwent a comprehensive restoration and presents with the restored exterior finish, interior upholstery and trim components.

Opening bid US $15,100 2 bids ends in 9days, reserve not met, seller motoexotica, Fenton, Missouri

Seller's description:

This example underwent a comprehensive restoration and presents with the restored exterior finish, interior upholstery trim components and detailed underbody.

Dressed in red, the car's exterior paint and trim are in excellent condition with minor imperfections. The engine bay is extremely tidy and the chrome bumperettes fit tightly to the body. The drophead coup (DHC) had a padded, lined canvas top, which folded onto the rear deck behind the seats when retracted and roll-up windows with opening quarter lights. In this example, the soft-top is Khaki colored. The flat glass two-piece windscreen was set in a steel frame that was integrated with the body and painted the same color.

This example rolls on blackwall tires that are mounted on wire wheels. The tires and wheels are in great condition. All XK120s had independent Heynes-designed torsion bar front suspension, semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, recirculating ball steering, telescopically adjustable steering column and all-round 12-inch drum brakes.

Under the bonnet, (hood) is a dual overhead-cam 3.4 L straight-6 XK engine that was highly advanced for a mass-produced unit of the time, featuring a high-temperature, high-strength aluminum alloy cylinder head, hemispherical combustion chambers, inclined valves and twin side-draft SU carburetors. This example's motor has a tri-carburetor, which provides increased airflow and throttle response compared with the standard arrangement. The XK engine's basic design by William Heynes, later modified into 3.8 and 4.2-litre versions, survived until 1992. Backing this engine is a four-speed manual transmission but note that first gear is not synchronized.

The interior is finished in Biscuit, complete with Connolly leather upholstery and Wilton wool carpeting and mats. The dashboard features burled walnut trim and the same accents the interior door cards, adding a dose of warmth that blends well with the Biscuit interior. The bucket seats are cozy and inviting and call for a quick spin with someone whose company you enjoy. The carpeting and mats look great, the black, four-spoke steering wheel offers great contrast plus it looks fantastic note the odometer is inop.The floor-mounted shifter and emergency brake are period correct.
