    Auction description:

    Lot Number 242

    1953 Jaguar XK 120 Fixed Head Coupé

    Still For Sale

    RM | Online Only - OPEN ROADS, THE EUROPEAN SUMMER AUCTION 14 - 22 JULY 2020

    Chassis No. S 680808

    Documents: Italian Libretto

    Exceptionally well preserved throughout

    Attractive Pastel Green over Beige colour scheme

    Registered in Italy since 1980

    Presented in unrestored, original condition

    A charming example of one of Jaguar’s most iconic automobiles

    Please note that this lot will need to be collected in Bergamo, Italy

    Addendum

    Please note that due to travel restrictions resulting from Covid-19 this car has not been inspected in person by an RM specialist and its inspection report is therefore based on information provided by the consignor as well as available photography. To receive more information where available and connect with a car specialist, please click "Lot Inquiry."

    Finished in Pastel Green, this attractive XK 120 Fixed Head Coupé was completed by Jaguar in February of 1953 and is believed to have been delivered new to the United States. Its early history is unknown, until being registered in Turin, Italy in 1980. According to the consignor, it is well-preserved in unrestored condition, still finished in its original colour scheme. Today, it is accompanied by a Certificatdo di Omologazione by the Automotoclub Storico Italiano. It is important to note that the engine block number (stamped W7563-8S, the original block) does not match the stamped number on the cylinder head (NC2271-8).

    Presented in attractive colours with charming patina, this would be an interesting acquisition for any enthusiast looking to own one of Jaguar’s most iconic automobile and a true icon of its era.

    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?
