Default New Member with 1950 XK 120

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a fully restored and beautiful 1950 XK 120 OTS. In addition to the Jaguar, my eclectic collection also includes a recently restored 1946 MG TC, a 1985 IROC Camaro (that I purchased new in 1984) and a 2020 Corvette coupe. The cars all have unique personalities, which makes them enjoyable to drive. I am 75 and retired and live near Clinton, New Jersey USA. I was born in Flint, Michigan, which, at the time was a major automobile manufacturing town, having 11 GM plants. My father was an executive with Buick, so I was exposed to cars at an early age. Naturally, I have had a life long interest in cars, especially sports cars. While my mechanics skills are limited, I like tinkering with the cars.

Welcome to the forums stoutd47,

Good to have you with us.

I know you've already found your way to the XK120 / XK140 / XK150 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. You can also use the US Northeast Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-northeast-35/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums and the latest addition to your collection.

Graham
