A 1950 Jaguar XK 120 OTS roadster, one of 1,025 open two-seaters produced that year, built to left-hand drive specification and believed destined for the American market given its mph speedometer. Finished in British Racing Green with a tan interior, the car was subsequently registered in Italy and prepared for historic competition, participating in the Mille Miglia in both 2010 and 2011. It retains its correct-type twin-cam engine and remains eligible for major European vintage events.
