Longtime FGT fan here.
After two seasons with my late Father’s restored to better-than-new 1954 Jaguar XK120, it’s time to pass it along.
Listing just went up on BAT. Know how the saying goes to buy someone else’s restoration rather than do one yourself? Unfortunately dad was on the wrong side of that equation and spared no expense. Car is effectively brand new. Even if it sets the new high water mark, it won’t come close to the dollars dad spent.
Asking if anyone here might enjoy what could be among the best examples of any XK120 out there.

Aside from the silent BAT video, YouTube channel Tedward made a video as well on the 120:

Thank you for your consideration. It’s been an absolute blast to drive and pay respect to the man. Alas, it was dad’s dream car, and while amazing, it is not my dream car.

Thanks and cheers.
Alex

Good luck with the sale! After my dad passed, I kept his prized Model A a few years, but ultimate sold it on to one of his friends. Tedward did a nice video on the Porsche 964 RS that I bought from Bond Group.

Thank you. I am quite impressed with Tedward and The Bond Group so far!

Very nice. Being an 'SE' is a huge plus.

Thanks.
Dad put in high-lift cams, so it’s even beefier on power. Think akin to an MC edition. No dyno, but probably a bit over 200hp. Auction ends middle of the day, tomorrow!
