1952 Jaguar XK120 FHCChassis 679916 Manufactured in August 19, 1952 and distributed to Charles Hornburg in Los Angeles, California. In 1994, the car was given a frame off conversion to race spec for David Fromer of Peabody, Massachusetts. The work was completed by British Auto of Manchester, New Hampshire. Mr. Fromer raced the Jaguar from 1994 to 1999 at Lime Rock, Pittsburg, Mont Tremblant, and Pocono as well as various Jaguar Club events. During this time the car was maintained and further improved by Tivvyâs Autocraft of Richmond, Vermont. In March 2000 the car was sold to Robert Moody of Hartford, Connecticut. Mr. Mooney raced it through 2005 at Lime Rock and NHIS Vintage events with maintenance and modifications still performed by Tivvyâs Autocraft. Ted Gildred of Encinitas, California purchased the car in December, 2006. At this time it was converted to touring spec with the addition of a fully synchronized 5 speed transmission and the addition of front disc brakes. This work was performed by C.W. Richert of Glendale, Arizona. The car participated in the 2007 Colorado Grand. The current owner resides in Boca Raton, Florida and purchased the car in 2016. The intention was to use it for touring and events. However, it has been sparingly used as it is part of a large collection. The car has been fully maintained in ready condition with a recent upgrade to the brake master cylinder. A recent 30 mile outing in the car proved it to be reliable, comfortable, and competent. According to the Heritage Certificate, the car left the factory in the color of Birch Grey. Significant documentation dating back to 1993 and the log books from when it raced also accompany the car. There are also photos of the initial conversion to a race car.
