Equipment
3,442/180hp, 4-speed, chrome wire wheels, Avon tires, Lucas tri-bar headlights. Leather upholstery.
Condition
Cylinder block and head match the JDHT certificate. An older restoration to like new condition, showing some use and age but very presentable and usable. Top scratched rear deck and painted over chips on top of both front fenders. One loose grille bar. Impressive engine compartment. Not like new but close.
Market commentary
Sold by RM at Monterey in 2001 for $55,000, then at Amelia in 2002 for $60,500, the result here is indicative of the increasing recognition of XK 120s, particularly the uprated M and SE equipped examples, as important in America's early 50's sports car history and strong, generally reliable, cars for tours. This one would not have been expensive at the high estimate and is a good value for the money in this transaction.
