Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Matching numbers, one of first XK120 alloy roadsters delivered to Max Hoffman, lots of unique details due to early production status, sealed-beam headlights.

Condition

Meticulously documented restoration between 2005-2008, repainted in correct color, 100 points in JCNA concours since completion, set record times in the Class B slaloms, complete ownership trail, excellent paint and chrome, fair panel fit (as expected).

Market commentary

One of the most important XK120s, according to historians Paul Skilleter and Philip Porter. Well bought at Gooding's 2011 Amelia sale for $385,000, now market correct.
