    1996 the car was acquired by Marteen Staveman, a Dutch car dealer living in England. 1997 Staveman sold it to the Dutchman Peter Janssen in the spite of the fact that the son of the designer Anthony Wilson-Spratt was bidding just a little less at the same time. Peter Janssen and his friend Jacco Mol moved the car to the Netherlands where they restored the car which was in a dreadful condition from bottom up during 5 years. In spring 2003 Peter Janssen sold the beautiful restored car to the Dealer Aaldering in Brummen (Netherlands).

    While the latest restoration effort did make the car shin, it unfortunately left out an important detail: the tow hook. Without it, the car had not quite regained its historical nickname …

    THE TOW CAR!
    Aaldering subsequently sold the car the same year to a Chinese Lady – Judy A. Reyes – who lived in Singapore and worked in Hong Kong. The car was stationed in Germany and Judy Reyes participated at a few events in Europe.

    In July 2005 Eugen W. Schmid from Zurich acquired the car. He discovered that the missing tow hook was still with Peter Janssen in Holland and it was transferred to Switzerland. In spring 2006 Eugen Schmid asked the Swiss Jaguar Specialist Georg Dönni to restore the tow hook and to refit it to the car. The XK150 Estate of the late Douglas Hull now had regained its historical identity “The Tow Car”.

    In 2006 the car participated at several Rallyes in Switzerland and met during the 30th anniversary-Rally of the Jaguar Drivers Club Switzerland the famous Jaguar-Lady Rose Eaton. Rose’s comment seeing the car:”Oh I know this car, it was quite an eyecatcher at its time!”
