When my 1951 Jaguar XK120 SE was completely and professionally restored, it could readily have been finished as a show car. I wanted, however, a car which was easier, more comfortable and safer to drive so made several deliberate modifications, including:-bucket seats pushed back for more cabin room-five speed,fully synchromesh transmission-turn signals,seat belts and a larger rear view mirror Most of this could be reversed to a near concurs car. The metallic bronze color was a factory color in 1950 and 51 but discontinued because of metallic paint quality problems. Mine is a modern paint in near perfect condition.Engine and other mechanicals, body and electricals all in excellent condition. The car is in La Jolla, California.
