I have owned the car since 1961 and knew the car previously. Do not know first owner. It is rumored that car was won in a raffle by charlie wallace a local driver who drove xk 120's to two scca class "c" championships.
When I first saw this car it was painted "lavender" and was used at "Marlboro Raceway" in Maryland as a track car. i would Appreciate any that know history of this that would prove or disprove this.
