Car had 66000 recorded miles from new when laid up for 22 years by former owner Joseph Molnar, Hellertown PA, for reasons of being unable to change clutch without removing the engine; car was absolutely original when imported to Switzerland in 1991 but was in need of a complete restoration; car has been painstakingly restored to its original specification by present owner from 1991 - 1999; featured in Urs Schmid's "Jaguar XK 120 - The Anatomy of a Cult Object" (ISBN 3-9521878-1-X), showing duo-tone trim (this being very rare for a XK 120 FHC)
