I owned this car in the late 60s ( I think I have the date correct)I have often wondered whether this car had survived. I had a report from a friend who had seen at a Jaguar Driver's Club event at Silverstone. When I owned it had blue (Metallic?) bodywork. I would be interested to know more about
its current whereabouts

My Dad, Robbie Vincent who owned R Vincent Coachworks, restored this car. He still has lots of photos of all the cars he's restored over the years! Beautiful.

Vincent Coachworks of Ringwood and today is presented in the timeless combination of British Racing Green with a tan leather interior and a black hood. The restoration has matured well, with the car continuing to present exceptionally attractively while retaining an authentic character. Mechanically, the XK120 is described as in generally good condition and offers an impressive appearance that is sure to appeal to enthusiasts and collectors alike. This MoT test exempt Jaguar is presented to auction with a V5 registration document and has been in the ownership of our vendor since July 2010. The XK120 remains one of Jaguar's most iconic and desirable post-war sportscars, combining graceful styling with exhilarating performance. This well-presented Drophead Coupé represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a highly usable example of one of Britain's greatest motoring legends. Consigned by Dominic Lake
