I am in England and last year I imported a 1956 XK140 FHC from a dealer in Atlanta, Georgia. I have found out that the car was first sold by Los Angeles dealer Charles Hornburg in Hollywood. The car was a left hand drive, automatic, colour white with chrome wire wheels and black upholstery.
I have the original engine and chassis numbers.
I wrote to the California Dept of Motor Vehicles but they replied they had no record of it.
Is anyone able to guide me to finding out who was the original owner?
