Amelia Island – A secret collection of important collectible and racing Jaguars, including a Works XK120 raced to victory by US racing driver and Formula 1 Champion Phil Hill, will be seen for the first time in 20 years crossing the block at the Bonhams Amelia Island Auction on March 2 in Florida.

The cache has been hidden for more than two decades just outside Washington DC, having been collected by the late Thomas C. Hendricks. The lifelong automobile enthusiast, known Jaguar connoisseur and former Chairman of the Washington Jaguar Club inherited his passion from his father Carl whose own XK120M, reacquired by Hendricks Junior in 1961, is one of the jewels offered at Amelia Island.
