 | 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.

The car spent its first 24 years in Arizona. It was brought to Mich in 1981, driven until '86, and stored until Aug 2007, as which time I purchased it.
I'm restoring the car as a "driver", doing a frame-on restoration. The finish color will be a med ERG, with Jaguar "tan" leather interior.
This is my second XK. I had a '53 XK120 from '56 thru '73.
