This lovely XK120 OTS was built on July the 3rd, 1951 and shipped to Max Hoffman, the legendary New York importer and distributor on July 13th, 1951. At some point the car was shipped to Denmark where it is currently registered.

This is an early part-aluminium, left hand drive car in gleaming white with a fabulous red interior, and is in beautiful condition following a six year restoration which was completed in 2004 and has obviously been lovingly maintained since. Amongst the paperwork with the car are a number of invoices, a letter indicating that the car had won a prize for the best XK 120 at a Jaguar show in Copenhagen and confirmation from Jaguar Cars Ltd. that this is a matching numbers vehicle. This early, split screen, open two seat, classic piece of Jaguar post war design personifies 50's elegance and would be welcome anywhere.
