billy bland, aka the titanic of tittusville

hello,
any one ever met a man named billy bland? he was into jags all through the 60's, 70's and 80's.
i bought my 54 120fhc from his daughter and i'm trying to find out more about him and the car. he sounds like a pretty amazing guy!
she tells me that he had a 120 that was hit by a drunk driver on her maiden voyage after a restoration thus earning the "titanic of tittusville" handle. we're trying to figure out if that was the car i now own.
he lived in florida, north carolina, and southern virginia i believe.
thanks for any info

Never met his, but for grins I put that name in the search feature at www.whowhere.com and came up with a bunch of "Billy Blands" around the country (with addresses). You might just try that search and then write them all and ask if any is the one your looking for. You just never know...I recently found the current owner of the Jag I owned in high school and sold 29 years ago. Good luck with your search.

Basil
