    Additional description from above auction:
    1954 Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe
    Chassis No.S 677863
    Estimate: $75,000-$100,000 US
    AUCTION DATE:
    To be auctioned on
    Thursday, January 19, 2012
    OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
    • Matching numbers engine
    • Complete with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate

    Manufactured on August 14, 1953, the 1954 Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe offered here is a very desirable original US-delivery, left-hand drive variant with its matching numbers, XK DOHC 'six' and wire-spoke wheels. Finished in Pastel Green as original and trimmed with dark green hides, it benefits from an older, professional restoration and is fitted with grey Wilton wool carpeting, a black convertible top with a matching boot, tan headliner and an accessory wood-rimmed steering wheel.

    The car presents very nicely, and the restoration has aged quite well, with the leather upholstery showing a light patina and some signs of slight use, with no rips or tears present. Similarly, the wooden dash remains nice, as does the brightwork. Close examination reveals occasional cosmetic imperfections but nothing detrimental for regular driving enjoyment. Honestly presented, quite rare when new, retaining its matching-numbers engine and complete with a spare wheel and tire as well as a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, this final-year XK120 FHC fulfills all important criteria with a lovely color to boot.

    Hi
    Does anybody know former owners of this car? Workshops who took care or restored it would also be interesting... All help greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards, Florian

    Any further information concerning the car's previous owners or workshops entrusted with restoration and maintenance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!

    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?
