Just a quick hello to say hey, signed up in here tonight, have a 1952 XK120 FHC inherited from my father in law. He had owned it since 1966, has been restored as a daily driver type of resto, with fresh 3.4L engine & new clutch, Borrani spoked wheels which were on the car when he got it in the mid-'60's, and new red leather interior & black lacquer. This car runs like a watch, took some extra time to dial it in but was well worth the effort.
Glad to meet all!

welcome to the forum - enjoy!!!

 

Hello, Mark,
I wonder how many cars on the road today will be around for people to admire in 70 years.

Not sure how many rides will be around in 70 years either, hopefully this 1952 Jag XK120 coupe will @ 140 years old!

 

A huge thanks to all who have responded with a "welcome", much appreciated! Will be able to contribute more as I learn this car, took awhile to figure out all the idiosyncratic details with British cars. Positive ground is nothing new to me as older heavy equipment used a reverse field starter & generator(positive ground system). Not difficult, but can confuse you if you don't pay attention to polarity.
I'm also a retired heavy equipment mechanic, have worked on everything from aircraft to cars, motorcycles, and huge construction equipment. I'm learning as I go along.
