Xk 120 aluminum body
I was a big fan of 120's back in the 60's- nickname was Jaguar John. Owned a few and had a shop specializing in Jags. There was an ex air force pilot named Tex Roberts who had an aluminum bodied 120 in his yard. I begged to buy it, but he wouldn't let it go. As time passed I lost track of him and the car and was curious as to whatever happened to it. It was in Lakewood, Wa. and Tex told me it was originally owned by the president of some S American country and he had swapped the guy an American car of some sort for the 120. Tex and another guy then cut out the back of the seat area to make a 2+2 out of it and had fabricated a fiberglass coupe top. It was in that unfinished condition that it sat in his yard for years.
