The price you got right. But just a few corrections:
1952 means Mark VII, not V.
Mechanical parts are shared with the XK120 (which is bad, because it drives
up their prices)
Interiors are not custom made, can be bought off the shelf but are VERY
expensive.
They drive like a barge, but lots of room inside.
Wood is not rosewood.
An award winner will cost you more than your house.
