Introduction from Spain
Hi all,
we retired to Spain from England 12 years ago, I have not worked on my restoration project in that time.
I am now getting back to finishing my Mk2 3.8 MOD 1964, I bought the car 22 years ago as a basket case , yes I should have known better.
But it was a RHD had been exported to California and then re-imported back to England Nov. 1988 so no major rust. I then bought it stripped and modest amount of work done to the chrome and woodwork.
Unfortunately the work slowed down when I bought a running XK150 1958 3.8 MOD which needed TLC (engine top end totally rebuilt and body resprayed) I kept this car until we moved to Spain.
Sorry to ramble on, intro finished.
Regards
Peter
