#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
The only XK 120 bodied by Pinin Farina, bodied for a private client (probably Jaguar U.S. distributor Max Hoffmann) and displayed at the Geneva Motor Show in 1956. Acquired by the present owner, Peter Neumark, in 2015 and restored in its original colors. Second in class at Pebble Beach in 2017. Excellent paint, brilliant chrome, beautiful interior with almost no evidence of use. The chassis is restored like new without being overdone. Exceptional coachwork design with a distinctive wide grille, chrome headlight nacelles and mustache front bumpers.
Market commentary
Observers’ comments on the lines of this bespoke Jag varied. The chrome headlight nacelles and widened grille with thick chrome border are peculiar but also distinctive. The condition is above reproach and the opportunity to acquire a car that is truly unique is important, as the price it brought indicates.
