It is evident that the previous owner of this fine XK120 cossetted the car as it is in such good conditionand drives so well. The car has been used just for summer and dry use as the MOT certificates and the mileage testify.

The car has been maintained in its original Birch Grey clour and it has the advantage of upgrades of Coopercraft front disk brakes and gleaming wire wheeels and a hi Torque starter motor. An aluminum radoiator in the same orginal style ensures the Xk120 has cool running.

In period ventilated louvre bonnet and leather securing strap with chrome wire protectors on the head and spot lights compliment the appearance of this stunning original roadster.

This sought after XK120 is in great condition having maintained its original LHD and Grey Birch paintwork.
