According to its Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, this left-hand drive XK120 Coupé (one of 2,484 built) left the factory on 18th April 1952 as a Personal Export Delivery via City Motors, Oxford, its final destination being the USA. The original colour scheme was cream with a red interior. Two former owners are known: Jaguar Owners' Club President Urs Schmid (1978-1988) and Rudolf Schnorf (1988-2015). The current vendor acquired the XK from Mr Schnorf. The car benefits from new electrics and new interior trim (invoices on file), and is described as generally satisfactory condition. Additional documentation consists of a FIVA Identity Card (issued 2016) and a Swiss registration document.
