    Car to be at auction 6/12
    www.bonhams.com/auctions/19767/lot/215/
    Incorrectly cataloged as 672075.

    Auction description:
    16 Jun 2012 3 p.m. Oxford
    Collectors' Motor Cars
    Auction 19767
    215
    1950 Jaguar XK120 Roadster
    Registration no. FEB 620
    Chassis no. 672075
    Engine no. W4712-8
    Estimate:
    £70,000 - 90,000
    €87,000 - 110,000
    US$ 110,000 - 140,000
    Originally constructed as an open roadster with left-hand drive, chassis number '672075' was completed on 24th April 1952 and despatched to the dealer Hoffman in California, USA. Its accompanying Heritage Certificate confirms that engine number 'W4712-8' is original to this chassis and reveals that the car was delivered finished in Dove Grey with tan-piped biscuit interior and fawn soft-top.

    The XK was treated to a full, 'body off' restoration some 12 years ago by Bridport Jaguar Restorations, including a full engine rebuild; there is a photographic record of this work on file. It seems reasonable to assume that the conversion to right-hand drive was done at this time.

    The XK was bought by the current vendor on 12th December 2008. Since acquisition, the interior has been re-carpeted and the leather replaced on the dashboard, doors, battery box and foot wells. Other noteworthy features include the C-type cylinder head, full wet weather equipment and a stainless-steel exhaust system with twin tailpipes. Described by the private vendor as in generally very good/excellent condition, the car is offered with current road fund licence, MoT to May 2013, Swansea V5C document and bills and photographs relating to its restoration. We are advised that the oil has been changed every 500 miles.

    1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster
    Sold for £54,166 (US$ 71,367) inc. premium
    Goodwood Revival
    Chichester, Goodwood

    Originally constructed as an open roadster with left-hand drive, chassis number '672075' was completed on 24th April 1952 and despatched to the dealer Hoffman in California, USA. Its accompanying Heritage Certificate confirms that engine number 'W4712-8' is original to this chassis and reveals that the car was delivered finished in Dove Grey with tan-piped biscuit interior and fawn soft-top.

    Imported into the UK in 1992, the XK was bought by the immediately preceding owner in December 2008. It is understood that the car was treated to a full, 'body off' restoration some 16 years ago by Bridport Jaguar Restorations, including an engine rebuild. It seems reasonable to assume that the conversion to right-hand drive was done at this time. While with the previous owner, the interior was re-carpeted and the leather replaced on the dashboard, doors, battery box and foot wells. Other noteworthy features include the C-type cylinder head, full wet weather equipment and a stainless-steel exhaust system with twin tailpipes. Described by the private vendor as in generally good condition, with excellent engine, the car is offered with a V5C document and bills and photographs relating to its restoration.

    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?
