Owner: Hans Borgonjen
Being myself from 1951, I was very happy with my 1951 XK120 OTS. But...., I sold it at the MEXX classic show when my car was on the Jaguar booth (see photo). The XK is beautiful, but less practice than an E-type; I nevertheless choose the most less practical E-type version, but also in my opinion the most attractive one: a black coloured flatfloor OTS from 1961. Meaning that after 12 years XK, we are now restoring an E-type S1 3.8 OTS flatfloor 1961. (email)Updated November 23rd, 2012. Not legal proof of ownership. |

Car imported from USA to the Netherlands 7th January 1991.
First Dutch owner was since 1991 the grand-father from Ari Wisse from InterClassics Zeewolde, who does now (with my help) the total 'nut & bold' restauration.
Car restauration was started 10 years ago and than stopped. We took over this OTS flatfoor plus an FHC from Adri's grandfather 28th February 2012. Total restauration is now proceeding.

Good Lord! Where on earth did you find those suitcases? I have been around e-types for fifty years and didn't even know they existed. Were these a factory option on the build sheet? I am your next-door-neighbor on this website - 876024. Your photos and descriptions are great - keep them coming. I would appreciate any further information on the luggage. Who knew?

Hello Dave,
I found them via a kind of E-BAY site.
As far as I know they are original delivered as an option for the OTS.
I don't know if they were also available for the FHC.
I have indeed never seen them before (or after), so no idea where you can get them.
Regarding photo's: I have stopped adding photo's almost 2 years go, because I find the side a bit complex.
My car is now finished and there are over 1000 photo's in almost 30 sub-albums on the jag2jag site (I think you can search under chassis number; if not let me know and I can send you the link).
When I have time, I intend to update also the XKE Data side again.
Best Regards, Hans (Netherlands)
