Thanks for looking but a sale is pending on this car. Are you
looking for an XK-120 project with all the hard work done? Perhaps
you want a finished car but want to know without question what's
gone into it and the quality of the work. Or, maybe you want
something further along that you can finish out. Regardless, this
car can work into any of those scenarios. We can completely finish
this car out as a turnkey, fully sorted restoration. We can also
advance it to any point in between its body work completed current
state and fully sorted restoration should you desire. We're also
offering the car as is for the person who wants a project but
doesn't want the time and considerable expense already invested
here. We began with some good bones here. There was minimal rust,
the only areas being behind the door shut face pillars and one
battery box. There had been a prior repair to the left front fender
as evidenced by some welding bead visible on the inside of the
fender. The door shut face pillar assemblies were replaced on both
sides and the one corroded battery box replaced. The previously
repaired front fender was reworked eliminating fillers and finished
not just on the outside but inside as well leaving no evidence it
was ever repaired. Prior to the body work, the body was removed
from its chassis. The frame was sandblasted and painted. The front
suspension has been rebuilt with new ball joints, urethane bushings
and new shock absorbers. At the rear, the differential was
inspected and all seals and gaskets were replaced. New springs were
installed along with shock absorbers rebuilt by Apple Hydraulics.
All brake hydraulics were either sleeved and rebuilt or replaced.
The car has been refinished in its original silver color as stated
on its Heritage Certificate. Unfortunately, it's not possible to
convey in photos the quality of the paintwork on this car. It is
virtually flawless and stunning may be the best word to describe
it. If you have an interest in this car, we encourage you to see it
in person. You won't be disappointed. Note the aluminum bonnet was
not photographed but is done to the same high standard as the rest
of the car. Work continues on this car. At this time, a complete
new wiring harness has been installed and many of the firewall
components such as wiper motor, voltage regulator, etc. have been
installed. All chrome parts such as windshield frame, tail lamp
housings, fender lamp housings, etc. have new chrome plating to a
high standard. The engine rebuild is currently underway. All
machine work has been completed including cylinder boring and
crankshaft regrind. The head has been fitted with new seats,
guides, valves, and valve springs. We're also fitting a modern type
rear main seal to eliminate oil leaks. As work progresses, we will
update photos. The price is subject to change as the car nears
completion. We want to emphasize this is a complete car. Virtually
all necessary components to complete the restoration are present.
