You are presently looking at my Jaguar XK120 OTS 1952. In 2002, the decision was made to restore this original, California rust free automobile with one purpose in mind…to be the best available example capable of scoring high points and winning firsts in JCNA sanctioned concours competitions. Since completing the comprehensive frame off restoration in September of 2004, she has fulfilled my expectations admirably with three 1st place Best In Class awards with 99 point plus scores. While I don’t name my cars (as some have been reported to do), if I did, I would name this Jaguar ‘Seinfeld’, as she is retiring at the top of her game. I feel that it is now time to hand her over to another caring custodian to drive and enjoy, continue to compete, or both. I have other projects to complete and compete. year, frame off, nut and bolt retsoration completed in September of 2004. Finished in ebony with biscuit interior and tan top. 5 chromium wire wheels. Polished stainless steel exhaust system. Driven less that 200 miles since completeion.
