A very special XK120, chassis 660065 is the 65th XK120 produced and the 5th steel bodied car. It features its original chassis plate that shows uniquely large vale clearances at 12 and 15 thou, these were soon revised and reduced on all later cars. Several points of interest stand out on this XK120, the first being its celebrity history, the first owner being Hollywood actor Allan Jones, father of singer Jack Jones.
The next is the fact that this is a desirable all matching numbers car, being an early car the last digit of the engine number is the compression ratio, Jaguar evidently first thought it would be 7:1 compression (common on export cars) and then over stamped it 8:1 ratio before completion. No attempt has been made to hide this.
Possibly its greatest claim to fame is as was mentioned before, the fact that it is such an early car being the 65th XK120 and the 5th steel body car, almost putting it in the realms of prototype status.
Another feature is the lack of vents on the front wing, again these were introduced on all models not long after.
The engine still retains its original "studless" cam covers, the amusing feature of the extra long plug leads that travel along the side of the cylinder block, up the back of the cylinder head and all the way back to the front of the engine again. Another distinctive under bonnet feature are the so-called stove-pipe SU carburettors. These have amazingly tall dash pots which only just fit under the bonnet again only a early car would have these.
The radiator fan is a remarkable piece of craftsmanship being a hand polished and made of cast aluminium reminiscent of a ships propellor, this again was superseded by a cheap pressed steel version.
The cockpit includes the rare and often missing "Owls-eye" cigarette lighter, no indicators are also a characteristic of this early car. A fully chromed hood frame was also a feature that must have cost a fortune to make, again this was soon replaced on later cars with a cheaper painted frame.
A truly wonderful early car that has been cared for throughout its life, retaining its original features and being restored accordingly.
