This 1950 Jaguar XK120 is one of only 184 factory European left-hand drive alloy cars built between 1948 and 1950. It was completed on February 21, 1950, and wore a Birch Grey exterior over Biscuit and Red duotone leather. It was ordered through R.M. Overseas Motors in Düsseldorf, Germany on April 14, 1950, and was collected directly from the factory by its original owner, Colonel T. Hampton of the US Air Force, the following day on April 15. From that point forward, the history of the car is not known but it is believed to have been brought to the United States and remained on the West Coast.
Tom Krefetz of Classic Showcase in Oceanside, California, purchased the Roadster in 1996 and, at the time, had approximately 40,000 miles on its odometer. A frame-off restoration soon commenced, including balancing and blueprinting the numbers-matching engine and rebuilding the transmission, suspension, and radiator. The wood frame was reconstructed, the chassis was media-blasted, and the aluminum coachwork was given a black paint scheme. The interior was re-trimmed in the finest 'pigskin-grain' leather hides and the instruments, switches, and steering wheel were painstakingly restored. Upon completion in 1998, the car was judged at the Jaguar Clubs North America (JCNA) San Diego Concours d'Elegance, earning a perfect 100-point score.
Under the new ownership of Paul and Jan-Gee McCollam, who purchased it in 2001, it earned an AACA National Senior Award at Hershey, Pennsylvania, in 2001, First in Class at the 2002 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance, and three JNCA National XK120 Class 2 Championships in 2003, 2004, and 2005.
During the McCollam ownership, the brightwork was re-chromed, some engine components were replated, and a new soft top was fitted. During their decade of ownership, the Jaguar earned 26 awards.
