    Jaguar XK120 by Oblin 1951 RHD
    For me as a Belgian classic car specialist it was a huge pleasure to be able to secure this famous and unique XK120 with "strong" Belgian history.
    - Chassis n° 660751 also known as L.T.1 was one of the 3 chassis (LT1 - LT2 - LT3) destined to carry a lightweight body and reserve cars for the 1951 Le Mans.
    - Went from the Jaguar factory straight through Belgian Jaguar importer Mme. Bourgeois to Martial Oblin coachbuilder in Brussels.
    - 2-nd in class in the 1951 Liège-Rome-Liège with Jacques Herzet - Georges Baudouin team.
    - Tour de France 1952 with Jacques Herzet - Lucien Bianchi team.
    - Alpine Rally 1952: 3-rd in class
    - Monte Carlo Rally 1952: 3-rd in class.
    - Lyon - Charbonnières 1952
    - Brussels Motorshow 1952
    - Louis Vuitton Classic Parc de Bagatelle Paris 2000
    - Pebble Beach Concours - California USA - 2001
    It was evenso an honour to place this fabulous XK in the Jaguar collection of one of my very loyal customers.

    I wish people would take the trouble to put captions on these interesting 'period' photos.

    Bob Kerr of Scotland acquired this car in 1976 when it was in a very sorry state of repair and there are two photos in the "XK Bulletin January 1977"
    Also he gave a lengthy write-up of the problems with the car in the "XK Bulletin-March 1977". Amongst other things he mentions special seats and velvet headcloth all in royal blue. The cylinder head is all that remains of the original engine apart from a boxful of bottom end bits."

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
