Sellers description:
A MAGNIFICENT OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME ONE TO PICK UP AN ALMOST FINISHED RESTORATION AT A BARGAIN PRICE. UNFORTUNATELY THE OWNER AND QUALITY CAPABLE RESTORER, DUE TO ILL HEALTH, IS NOT IN A POSITION TO COMPLETE THIS ALMOST FINISHED CAR, AND IS IN NEED OF SELLING THE CAR, AS HIS RESIDENTIAL SITUATION HAS CHANGED.
NO EXPENSE WAS SPARED IN THE HIGH QUALITY WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS JAGUAR. ALL PARTS WERE EITHER RESTORED TO ORIGINAL SHOW CONDITION, OR THEY WERE REPLACED WITH NEW.
THE ENTIRE TOP FRAME IS NEW WOOD, AND EVERYTHING NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TOP BOTH INNER AND OUTER COVERINGS ARE WITH THE CAR IN A COMPLETE KIT. THERE ARE NO PARTS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE RESTORATION. THE RADIO (WHICH WORKS), AND ANTENNA ARE THERE, AND JUST THE ANTENNA NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED.
THE CAR STARTS AND RUNS LIKE A DREAM. IT COULD BE DRIVEN ANYWHERE IF IT HAD IT'S TOP IN PLACE. FOR THE SERIOUS BUYER, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A GREAT CAR, AT A REASONABLE PRICE.
FURTHER TO OUR LISTING THESE ARE THE NUMBERS WE HAVE FOUND WITH REGARD TO THIS VEHICLE
CHASSIS 628314
BODY P2564
ENGINE F 2920-8
SERIAL 678314
FURTHER INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM THE REGISTRAR OF XK 120 JAGUARS, IS THAT THIS CAR WAS PRODUCED IN APRIL OF 1954, SO ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT TITLE READS 1953 THE CAR IS IN ACTUAL FACT A 1954.

Châssis n° 678314
Completed on 30th April 1954, '678314' is the 158th from last XK120 manufactured. It was exported to James L Cooke Motors of Toronto, Canada on 13th May 1954 finished in British Racing Green with tan interior and matching hood. The car remained in Toronto all its life, carrying the registration number '54XK120'.
In 2009 the then owner (in Toronto) started a complete restoration of the car, removing all the mechanical components and stripping the chassis back to bare metal before repainting it in its original British Racing Green. The engine, gearbox and rear axle were all rebuilt and a completely new interior fitted. Unfortunately, towards the end of the restoration the owner became very ill and decided he would be unable to complete the project. In 2011 the current vendor imported the partly restored car into the UK where the project was completed, including the fitted of solid wheels and spats, a new wiring loom, rebuilt tandem braking system and the completion of the interior to a high standard. The car is offered with a UK V5C registration document.
