1950 Jaguar Xk120 Salvadori Period Competition Roadster 1950 JAGUAR XK120 SALVADORI PERIOD COMPETITION ROADSTER D E T A I L S Year: 1950 Body Style: Roadster Conguration: RHD Engine: 3400 cc Price: SOLD D E S C R I P T I O N Ex-Salvadori Competition XK120. This early steel bodied roadster was manufactured on November 28th 1950 and was despatched by the original distributor Walter E Sturgess, of Leicester on the 6th December 1950 and duly registered HBC226. While the rst owner of HBC226 currently remains unknown, by the August of 1951 it was being regularly driven in competition by Roy Salvadori who was back in action just months after a serious accident at the Silverstone ‘Daily Express’ meeting that May. Salvadori, originally a second–hand car salesman, had been eager to compete from a young age but his ambitions were frustrated by the onset of the Second World War. With the end of hostilities he began racing in 1946, starting with an MG and Brooklands Riley before moving onto Tazio Nuvolari’s 1935 German GP-winning Alfa Romeo and Bira’s Maserati 4CL. His career was progressing until the Silverstone accident where he had a near-fatal crash after hitting a marker drum and suffering a fractured skull and broken bones after being ejected from his somersaulting car. In spite of a lengthy hospital stay, Salvadori was keen to get back into the fray and the lack of viable car prompted him to switch from the damaged ‘Nash and acquire HBC226. His rst outing in the 120 was at Boreham on August 11th where he scored two podium nishes in the wet, coming 3rd in the National Unlimited race and 3rd in the William Lyons Trophy race behind Duncan Hamilton in LXF731 and Jim Swift in OVT325. Subsequently Salvadori bettered these results with 2nd places at Castle Combe and again at Silverstone in May of 1952. He returned to Boreham a month later and achieved yet more success, nishing second in the National Unlimited, William Lyons Trophy and Handicap races. Salvadori’s success in HBC226 did not go unnoticed and by 1953 he had started to drive for Connaught and achieved a second at the Nurburgring 1000km race, sharing a drive in the Ecurie Ecosse C- type with Ian Stewart. It was, however, with Aston Martin that perhaps his greatest win was achieved when he secured victory at Le Mans in 1959 with Carrol Shelby. As Salvadori went on to compete at the highest levels of the sport, HBC226 continued to compete at the UKs major circuits at the hands of another notable driver Peter Blond, who achieved a 3rd in the over 2 litre race at Silverstone in September of 1952. Blond would also go on to greater things driving C-type, D-type, HWM and Lister Jaguars at Goodwood in the mid-to-late 50s and being elected to the BRDC in 1956. By 1955 HBC226 had been repainted white and was being offered for sale by Performance Cars Ltd of Middlesex. Thereafter it entered a period of prolonged storage before being acquired by JD Classics in 2008 when it benetted from a full chassis-off restoration to current FIA competition specication with full JD Classics race upgrades. Since that time it has successfully returned to competition achieving strong nishes at Donington, Brands Hatch and in the Le Mans Classic during 2012 as well nishing the Mille Miglia twice in 2013 and 2014. Maintained regardless of cost this highly signicant XK120 is now undergoing a total JD Classics re-fresh in anticipation of next year’s Mille Miglia and the 2017 racing season. Offered in its original colour scheme with extensive history le and full FIA HTP papers it provides a very rare opportunity to own a genuine period race car with superb provenance.

  • JAGUAR RACING CARS a MONTHLY SERIES - Part 6
    JAGUAR RACING CARS A MONTHLY SERIES - Part 6 By Neville Barlow Jaguar Mark 2 The Mark II arrived in 1959 and it was very obvious from the Mark I. It had a wider rear window and more glass all around because of the slimmer door pillars. The rear track was widened by 3.5 inches, which gave the car more all- round stability. There were three new engine op$ons. The 2.4 litre was increased in ower to 120bh , the 3.4 litre to 210bh and the 3.8 litre had 220bh . The Mark II saloon was received with ra turous su ort because it eliminated many of the minor shortcomings of the earlier models. Many road tests were 1959 Mk 11 2.4 undertaken by Motoring ublica$ons.

The McLaren family and Jack have shared a wonderful life-long friendship, starting with watching his early racing days in New Zealand, then Pop McLaren purchasing the Bobtail Cooper from Jack after the NZ summer racing season of 1957. For the following season of 1958, Jack made the McLaren Service Station in Remuera his base and brought the second Cooper with him from the UK for Bruce to drive in the NZIGP which culminated in Bruce being awarded the Celebrating 50 Years of “Driver to Europe”. Jack became his mentor and close friend and by 1959 McLaren Racing Bruce joined him as teammate for the Cooper Racing Team. The rest, as we say, is history but the friendship lived on and the BM Trust Following on from their Tasman Series was delighted to host Jack in New Zealand for a week of motorsport memories success, the fledgling BMMR Team set about in 2003 with Jack requesting that the priority of the trip was to be a visit to their very first sports car race with the Zerex see his “NZ Mum” Ruth McLaren, who, by then, was a sprightly 97 years old. th Special – on April 11 1964 at Oulton Park and I shared a very special hour with the two of them together and the love and this was a DNF/oil pressure.
