Description

A wonderful Jaguar XK120 OTS, original UK RHD example with a fascinating and detailed past, including exceptional period race history! An XK120 is a tempting proposition at the best of times but put that together with a car that presents as well as this one does, and a car that has as much period race history as this one does, and you’ve got one compelling vehicle! OBH150 is listed in many Jaguar reference books alongside some of the greatest XK120’s ever made including RJH400 (as previous sold by Car-iconics Ltd), NUB 120 and the like (see period photos of the car racing). The majority of the car’s racing career was in the hands of Gordon Lee who bought the car new from Jaguar in early 1951 and who developed the car over the coming years, modifying it in the form of a single aero screen and the removal of the bumpers as the years rolled on. After his time with OBH150 he moved onto a C-Type! Currently offered for sale on behalf of its long-term owner, OBH150 will be fully serviced at the Revive-iconics workshop prior to sale in readiness for your summer enjoyment.
