Alan Craighead's 1950 Jaguar

Hello List,

Last year I posted a newspaper article regarding Alan Craighead’s 1950 XK120. I see it has been advertised on Bring A Trailer for 20K! Albeit not a matching numbers car or completely accurate but seems like a great buy!

Regards, Geoff

I could get it, as a bookend for Margaret, what with the same color palette!

I’ll predict it’ll get bid waaaay higher than 20 grand…watch the last five minutes.

It went unsold at $45.4k as it didn’t make the seller’s reserve. What did you guys think? Should it have gone for more? Less? About right? Having owned the car for only a month or so, the seller obviously wants to flip it so where do you think we’ll see it next? Ebay? Hemmings?

That means something: not precisely sure what.

My guess is, the markets going soft… or more approaching reality.

In a week where the net worth of those who could afford it likely dropped at least six figures, I would say, at a minimum, the timing is bad.
