It is believed that the original owner of this Alloy Roadster was Hollywood icon Clark Gable. It was originally painted Suede Green from the factory, and took on a particular shade of silver gray after arriving in California. This color was the Gable's preferred choice for all his cars including the Jaguar Mark V he had been driving prior to the acquisition of his new XK-120.
The car spent four decades in the ownership of the late Joe Cotrofu of Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. This car has been described as the 'most original unrestored alloy body XK-120 in existence.' The original interior is Suede Green and the original side curtains are tan in keeping with the tan roadster top although original specs indicated a black top.
In 2009, this car was offered for sale by Bonhams at the Exceptional Motorcars and Automobilia at the Quail Lodge in Carmel, CA. It was estimated to sell for $250,000 - 300,000, but failed to find a willing buyer capable of satisfying its reserve.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2009
