Great set of matching numbers. The car was built 1953 November

I purchased the car from Jane Wolf in May of 2011; she and her husband get credit for the beautiful concours restoration done on it. It was 95% complete, with 1/4 mile on it, when I purchased it. Their goal was to restore it and then show it but Warren passed away at an early age before the car was completed.
The previous owner was Keith Boudrie of Maple Plain MN. Keith purchased the car 35+ years from CO. He began restoring it but never finished it. He completed the chassis, and drive train and then the car was sold to Warren and Jane. Keith did an exceptional job on what he did matching the concours quality done by Warren and Jane.
The car was purchased new by William Kurtz out of Grand Junction Co. When I purchased it I spoke to William who was in his early 90's at the time. He still had some of the original sales documentation including the original Sales Receipt which I now have with the car. There may or may not have been an owner in between William and Keith. As of today, 5/4/16, the car only has about 1,200 miles on it; I've just used it for show and driving within 20 miles of my home on very dry and sunny days; it's never seen rain. I put on the fog lamps, stayfast tonneau cover, floor mats, seat belts, and a few other very minor things. I've had many classic Jaguars in my life and have done well in the concours circuit so I know how to spell consours backwards. My 61 E-type Flat Floor, that I had for 23 years and sold in 2015, was one of the finest cars in the market. It was stunning.

Gene Berghoff again. I still own this STUNNING 54 XK120 SE. I took it to a high level concours recently in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin at Road America and we won 1st place in our division, and Best of Show out of approx. 300 European sports cars that were brought in from around the country. As of today, 8/31/2026, the car only has about 2000 miles on it since a frame-off restoration, including the entire mechanical and electrical system. I use it mostly for showing and sometimes will drive it on SUNNY DAYS withing a few miles here in Excelsior MN around lake Minnetonka. I start it periodically and dust it monthly prior to shows we have at our facility which consists of 150 garage condo's and approx. 700 cars. So rather than drive to shows, the shows come to us. I also have several other Concours Level British Cars, and Motorcycles. I have been collecting and restoring mostly British vehicles, for 50 years. For 45+ years I woned a business, which is well known in the U.S. and Europe, by the name of "Jag Connection"; we restored, brokered, bought and sold, mostly E-types, XK's and a few Healey's. The Jaguar community knows me well; we strived to market high quality vehicles and treat people well. Most of my personal vehicles have achieved top awards in high-level concours shows throughout the country. They of course are trailered in enclosed trailers for these shows. My vehicles . can be seen on the following website which displays my collection. genesgarage.com/
