Used For Sale at Auction: 1950 Jaguar XK120 for sale in Monteira

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019. Estimate: €80,000 - €100,000 Desirable fast road specification; fitted with a C-Type head Perfect for vintage racing events; highly eligible Completed in December 1950 in Suede Green over a matching interior, this Jaguar XK 120 Roadster was built to RHD specifications for its home market and sold to its first owner via the Midland Autocar company in 1951. Mentioned in a 1977 letter to the XK Bulletin, the then owner, Chris Bowles of New Maldon, Surrey, had changed the exterior colour to its present colours, Old English White over a red interior. At some point it was converted from right-hand drive to left-hand drive, with the addition of a new engine cylinder head, likely a C-Type specification from a later model. Already a car which cannot be described as lacking in performance, the C-Type head makes this XK 120 Roadster even more usable and enjoyable, and this would be an ideal example for vintage events or just to drive and enjoy. Desejada especifica��o fast road; Cabe�a de motor C-Type Perfeito para eventos de cl�ssicos desportivos; altamente eleg�vel Produzido em dezembro de 1950, em verde Suede, com interior a combinar, este Jaguar XK 120 Roadster tinha condu��o � direita e estava destinado ao mercado brit�nico. Foi vendido ao primeiro dono pela Midland Autocar company, em 1951. Em 1977, foi referido numa carta dirigida ao "XK Bulletin". O seu propriet�rio era Chris Bowles, de New Maldon, no Surrey, que o mandou pintar em branco Old English White, com interior vermelho. A dada altura da sua hist�ria foi convertido para condu��o � esquerda, recebendo tamb�m uma nova cabe�a de motor com especifica��o C-Type, provavelmente de um modelo mais recente. Sendo um autom�vel r�pido, mesmo com as especifica��es normais, este XK 120 Roadster, com a cabe�a C-Type tornou-se o autom�vel ideal tanto para eventos de cl�ssicos desportivos como apenas para conduzir e desfrutar.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pg19 .
