Equipment
3.8 engine tuned to 300 horsepower with C-type head and 2-inch SU carbs, 5-speed Borg-Warner gearbox, front disc brakes, aeroscreens, Dunlop 5-bolt wheels, bucket seats, outside fuel filler, woodrim steering wheel, driving lights, no bumpers.
Condition
A gorgeous hot rod. Very good paint, chrome and interior. Chassis frame from a '53 coupe. Everything is done to high standards of fit, finish and function with Colorado Grand and California Mille history.
Market commentary
While few enough standards exist for such a comprehensively modified XK 120 the judgment of the RM Sotheby's Amelia bidders should be accepted as conclusive evidence of the value and potential enjoyment of this Jag. It should be a delight to drive with its fully synchronized B-W gearbox.
