Hello all, I saw a beautiful Jaguar XK120 a while back, it was painted on this very, very light blue, almost like a white with blue tint. Sadly I was driving and could not photograph it. I have a project now that I would like to use a similar color.

I know this is very subjective but can someone help with a possible photo example of a color that might fit this, somewhat dubious, description? :-)

Just go to your local automotive paint supplier. They will have color charts for the last 2-3 decades. 

Depends where you are, diamond white a 69-70 Ford Color would be similar to what you say.

And any decent supplier can match [within reason] any color.

I have an original Jaguar XK120/MkVII  colour-chip booklet, but not sure how it's going to help you...
