Hi... I am new to the forum and recently purchased a 1960 XK150 FHC and want to learn as much as possible about waking the car up and getting it back on the road after a 35 year sleep. I am finally realizing a dream that started back in the 60's when I missed out on a 120 roadster.

Thanks,

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
Great car, tell us more, any pics?

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Welcome to this friendly and helpful forum.
I was originally looking for an XK150 but couldn't justify the outlay.
Then I got seduced by the XKR.
I'm sure you'll get all the tech advice you'll need.
As Norri says - lets have some pics. You must take before nad after anyway for your records.

 

Here's a photo... mostly original paint, 67xxx miles, matching numbers, needs all new rubber, no apparent damage, etc. Need to find spare tire/rim. Looking forward to getting into knowing more about car. Huge temptation to getting it on the road and driving in "as found" condition. Any opinions/suggestions?

Thanks,

Welcome to the forum.

It has had a 35 year sleep, even I would take a bit of waking up after that.

Don't rush things, you will regret it later.

Enjoy the anticipation.
