Hello, I am a 69 year old XK120 owner. I have owned the car for 3 years, most of which has been spent restoring it and bringing it back to its original colors. It is an early 1952 OTS. We also own a 1958 Corvette and we drive both frequently.

Beautiful car and great pic of it, thanks a lot for sharing. Look forward to seeing more.

Do you have any mod plans for it this year?

Welcome.

Now, that is a REAL car.

Still got the Moss gearbox I note, LUV the sound of a Moss in 1st gear.

We have made some mods to make the car more reliable for cruising: front disc brakes, alternator, gear reduction starter, 12v neg ground, aluminum radiator with electric fan, new wiring harness. But I am still debating about electric power steering. I love the old feel of the moss gear box so I am not considering a 5 speed.
