This restoration was performed in New Zealand by old school craftsmen.
All the alloy panels were hand shaped using "hammer and file" with not an ounce of filler used anywhere
Exhaustive documentation is available on its history and restoration, including over a hundred photographs.

This is an incredibly rare vehicle, being original Right Hand Drive #660046 with certified matching numbers from Jaguar Heritage.
It has a fully documented history, as detailed in the books "The Jaguar XK in Australia" and "The Jaguar XK120 in the Southern Hemisphere" by John Elmgreen and Terry McGrath.
It was originally imported to Australia in 1950 by Bryson's, the Australian Distributor for Jaguar. Every owner is known and identified and its history includes racing at Bathurst in the 1950's.
It has undergone a 100% total restoration, with every defective part and panel replaced or re-made by artisan craftsmen in New Zealand.
Every mechanical part has been totally rebuilt, using all the original parts.
Almost all the original Alloy cars have now left Australia, making this is an absolutely unrepeatable opportunity to secure a major part of Australia's motoring history.
