So here we have one of the last XK120 roadsters, built in 1953 with chassis 674173 (last chassis number for an OTS was 676437)

Finished a silver metallic with deep red interior fitted with a canvas hood and tonneau cover

Panel fit is exceptional for one for these cars, as is the ride, acceleration and braking, making her a perfect example for the weekend trip the local pub for lunch or for a long trip in Europe or the States

Fitted with wire wheels, Vredestein tyres all round, front disc brakes, electric cooling fans, stainless exhaust and the Retro Trip meter for those who chose the Rallying route, where Special Stages or Regularities require precise timing of various sections

As you would expect everything works, including even the instrument lighting (most unusual) all gauges and indicators (a 'modcon' in those days rather than trafficators), a new 12v battery (with cut out and trickle charger connection) and with her electric choke she starts whatever the weather, literally on the button

Oh and I nearly forgot, for those of us taller than 5' 10" (1. 78m) the pedal box has been extended so that we too can drive this pretty version of what, in my minds eye, the most elegant sports car of a generation

We'll being using her a lot before she sells
