Amazing that this car has that little info here on this website.

The car was registered first as J 5151. First owner S.G.C. Gilley, president of the Jersey Motor Club. Then the car was sold to Lord Louth who modified the car for racing. Then the car got sold to Mrs. Vernon Oxenden. However I personally do not like that name. The lady was called Patricia Oxenden. She bought in 1935 one of the 24 S.S.90 and raced the car before the war in Jersey. Her husband raced other cars like Alta. This couple was very car mad and her daughter Joy told me that Pat used to say: it was the cars that kept us poor. Sadly Nigel Vernon Oxenden died in 1948 and Pat sold the S.S.90 that carried J6000 and J10000 to the UK from then on its reg was KLR 19. In about 1953 Pat bought this 120 of Lord Louth. The car then passed on to her daughter Joy. In the 70ies she sold the car. In 1982 the car was sold to Nick Smith of Swallow Engineering. From 1986 onwards it was displayed in the ICS Jaguar Museum in Maldon.
