'A car that has lived many lives.' Shipped to the West Coast in October of 1951 and delivered through Hornburg Jaguar in Los Angeles to the first owner, Sterling Edwards of San Francisco. Edwards raced XKC 017 all around the California racing scene at Torrey Pines, Palm Springs and the original road course at Pebble Beach. Sold to Lou Brero, XKC 017 was raced almost continuously winning the first 6-hour endurance race at the Torrey Pines road course. In 1955, the car was sold to Ray Seher of Nevada who won races at Stockton, Kotati Air Field, Salinas and Santa Rosa. Seher's biggest day came in Sacramento when he took five victories in one day of racing. He continued to race the car throughout 1956 when he sold the car to famed automotive journalist Leon Mandel, who not only raced the car, but used it as a daily driver. Mandel's son, Dutch, now Associate Publisher and Editorial Director of AutoWeek remembers his mother taking him for rides in the mountains as it was the only way the young Mandel would sleep.     | Site Map | Contact | About Us | Terms Of Use / Privacy Policy | Links | carAuctionValues |
