This stunning xk120 has had a remarkable journey. Previous owner had it for 30+ years in NY, until the current owner purchased it and shipped it to Bogata, Columbia for restoration. The current owners family was the first to have a jaguar dealership in Columbia in 1950’s, so this was a nostalgic and well documented frame offer restoration.
