Additional description from above auction:

This car, chassis number 670060, is one of only 184 examples with left-hand drive in the coveted alloy fraternity. It was completed on December 19, 1949, and dispatched on January 11, 1950, to Charles Hornburg, the Los Angeles importer. The Jaguar was then delivered to a Mr. J.L. Albert through Clayrich Motors in St. Louis. As delivered, it was finished in black with a Biscuit and Pigskin interior and a black roadster top.

The car's older, rotisserie restoration is documented in an accompanying pictorial history. It has recently been given a cosmetic touch-up by Muncie Imports and Restoration, Jaguar specialists in Muncie, Indiana. This freshening has restored its original beauty. Its Heritage Certificate from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust confirms that the restoration colors are as original. The present owner purchased the car in Pennsylvania in 2001; its former owners have included the well-known enthusiasts Terry Larson and Mark Smith.

Performance aside, the car is, in short, absolutely beautiful. The distinctive pressed steel wheels and rear-wheel spats add to its sleek design and its air of simplicity, giving substance to the axiom that the initial version of any design is always the best.

Description from above auction:

Estimate $300,000 - $400,000 Without Reserve

Chassis 670060

Engine W1113-8

Attractive Example of the Most Desirable Road-Going XK120 Variant

One of 242 Alloy-Bodied XK120s Built; Just 184 in Left-Hand Drive

Finished in Its Elegant Original Color Combination of Black with Biscuit and Pigskin Interior

Retains Matching-Number Engine Block per Accompanying JDHT Certificate

Widely Event-Eligible Sports Car, an Ideal Example to Use

These alloy-bodied cars represent a small fraction of the more than 12,000 XK120s built and are therefore prized by collectors. Accordingly, this example received an extensive bare-metal restoration to high standards during the late 1980s. According to its accompanying JDHT certificate, the car was restored in its handsome as-delivered color combination and retains its original engine block. The certificate also confirms that this example was originally delivered to the US, as many XK120s were, and sold new to J.L. Albert via Clayrich Motors of St. Louis, Missouri. Since its restoration, this Alloy Roadster has been carefully owned by several knowledgeable collectors including Terry Larson and Mark J. Smith. It remains a handsome example of the most desirable road-going XK120 – ideal for extensive use, including participation in the numerous driving events for which it is eligible.
