This Suede Green, left-hand drive 1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe with a complementing green leather interior and carpets has been a stalwart of the Rick Grant Collection since 1974. Its first known owner was Jacob Snyder of Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, who sold the car to Dr. Dick Dickinson of Syracuse, New York, in 1968. Dickinson later sold the car to George Cookson, also of Syracuse, who sold it to Grant in 1974 via International Motor Cars Ltd. in Cincinatti, Ohio. Copies of the 1957 Pennsylvania and 1976 Ohio titles serve as documentation

Moreover, it was extensively restored in 2008 by Euro Classics of Dayton, Ohio, with attention paid to correct and authentic detail, which is clearly seen in the refurbishment of the interior sourced from Original Specification Jaguar Interiors. Restoration receipts from Euro Classics document the restoration, during which most Jaguar parts were sourced from XKs Unlimited and Welsh Enterprises. It’s also pleasing to see body-color matched knock-off wire wheels rather than twinkling chrome affairs, which many purists feel detract from the pure and largely unadorned essence of the fixed head coupe.
