Well. I did it. As Jeremy Clarkson would say, "I've got a Jaaaaaag."

I just purchased a 1960 Mark IX, in.. less than great shape. All the bits were there, I can work the body out in due time. Should be fun. I don't have the money for a 'proper restore' so this might go a little more hot roddy?

Anyway, I'm 37, live just south of DC in Maryland, and this car just spoke to me. Hope to get through this build with a little help from new friends along the way!



Thanks all, great to be here!
