Jaguar built just 242 alloy-bodied XK120 roadsters, many of which have been converted to competition use. This particular example is a left-hand drive example with rear fender spats and disc wheels - just 184 were built in this configuration.
This car was the 56th of the small LHD series and left the Coventry works on December 14th of 1949 and was shipped to the company's New York distributor, Max Hoffman, on the third of January, 1950. It is not known who original purchased the vehicle. It remained in the United States until the late 1960s, at which time it was sold to a French collector. It participated in the 50th Anniversary celebration of the 24 Hours of LeMans endurance race, first run in 1923. Around 1978, this Jaguar was sold to another collector with the intent of displaying it at a racing museum at Montlhéry. During the period 2006-2007, this car was treated to a comprehensive no-expense-spared restoration in Europe and brought back to original specification.
The car is currently in its factory original colors including the red leather interior. At a recent JCNA Concours d'Elegance in Southern California, this car received an almost-perfect 99.67 points of 100 possible, and took 1st place in the event.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2016
