Hi The colour is Jaguar Pastel Blue Metalic. These metalic colours were discontinued for a while ( i think it was 2 years) when Mr Lyons moved production from Foleshill to Browns Lane in January 1951. This XK120 was built on 20 December 1950.

Great car! Mine is a close relative, also December 1950 (660403), though mine is on wires and I'm not sure how much of it is original. The chassis is, but the engine is from a 3.4 "S" type and the gearbox is a five speed, fitted by me after the old Moss box shed some teeth. It also has no early history so far - all I know is that it was new in Bradford and was originally metallic bronze, two tone interior and biscuit hood, which must have looked pretty slick in grim austerity days. Anyhow, good luck with the car.
Sadly, this photo of November/December 1950 builds just misses the two cars. Screenshot from Jaguar Heritage computer.Edited by threespires on Wednesday 13th January 18:08
Not much to report but some small things have been done with a promise of lots more in the next few days.
Headlights going in...
Following an issue in the XK 150 where, on the way back from Le Mans Classic, a 60 year old brass float sunk .It was thought a good idea to fit these to the entire fleet...
More soon.
