1951 MG TD- Genuine righthand drive TD that spent some of its early life in New York - Treated to a body-off restoration and respray in Ivory- Five-speed gearbox, stainless steel exhaust system and full weather equipment'XFO 698' is a genuine righthand drive TD that spent some of its early life in New York and comes with an original 'Big Apple' tax disc. In 1997 it crossed the Atlantic to the Isle of Man before being acquired by the vendor in 2006. Since then it has been treated to a body-off restoration and respray in Ivory, which is complemented by Black interior trim and weather equipment. The MG further benefits from the installation of a five-speed gearbox (the original will be available to the purchaser) and stainless steel exhaust system. In recent times the car has been stored in a carpeted garage and only used in fine weather. It is now offered for sale due to a family bereavement and is considered by the vendor to have 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, brightwork, upholstery, 1250cc XPAG engine, transmission and tyres. This much loved example is being sold complete with receipts for work done.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT
1954 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe- Exported new to Venezuela and distributed to its first keeper by CAMAV of Caracas- Recently fitted with replacment steering box, brake calipers and alternator- Heritage certificate and an MOT valid to September 2018 although exemptThis extremely attractive matching numbers 1954 XK was exported new to Venezuela where it was distributed to its first keeper by CAMAV of Caracas. At the time it was finished inside and out in Suede Green. At some stage it crossed into North America as it was from Washington DC that it was repatriated in 2014. The vendor purchased it from a private collection, since when the steering box, brake calipers and alternator have all received attention. These days `663 UYU' sports Ivory bodywork teamed with a Tan-coloured leather interior. It is considered to have `excellent' 3.4-litre XK engine and manual transmission, `very good' bodywork and interior trim, and `good' paintwork. It comes complete with Heritage certificate and an MOT valid to September 17 next year. A potentially fine addition to any classic car collection.It is true to say that the phenomenal success of the XK120 was completely unexpected by Sir William Lyons and his team, whose post-war focus was the MKVII Saloon. However, as that car and its XK engine neared completion in 1948, it occurred to Lyons that a sports car powered by the stunning new DOHC unit would probably outperform almost anything else in production at the time. The extraordinary decision was therefore made to design and build an XK-powered two-seater in time for display at the Earls Court Motor Show of October 27 - an apparently impossible task in the time available. However, within a few days of the Bronze show car going on display, it was evident that a complete rethink was required - such was the euphoria with which the XK120 was greeted. In the end, production spanned five years and the car was produced in three guises - Roadster, Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe; the combined production volumes of which were 12,055.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.
