Owner: Bruce Schofield

I bought my first Xk, in Michigan, in 1956; an xk 120 OTS. I did a frame-on restoration in '62 and sold it in '70. Had so much fun during those years. Hated to see it go. I got back into Jags with a '98 XJ8 VDP which I still have . A long lost friend mentioned he had a '57 XK140MC that had been in his garage since '86. He bought it from an Arizona dealer in '81. "The juices started flowing" and I bought it and am doing a frame-on restoration to bring it back as a "driver". At age 72, this will probably be my last major project,;but I hope to enjoy, once again, the wonderful experiences I had with the old 120. (email) Updated December 30th, 2007.
