I am thinking of showing my 1952 XK120 at a regional JCNA event. We just finished the restoration. It is all original, numbers matching but we made some improvements for safety and reliability: alloy radiator with electric fan, gear reduction starter, alternator, front disk brakes, pertronix electronic ignition and radial tires. Most of the changes are hard to detect because they are in original housings. Does this mean I should show it in the driven class?






Original colors as indicated on the Heritage Trust Certificate



B type head was installed in 1965 after the original was cracked. Block, chassis, transmission, etc are numbers matching original

 

Driven Class will exclude judging anything under the hood...where a lot of your modifications will reside.

I'm not sure of the brakes would be judged....as they might be considered the same as "suspension"...which is not judged. Nor 100% sure on that. I've been away from the Judging and concours scene for a number of years.

You might also consider Modified Class. You might have enough mods to qualify.

Personally I'd go fro Championship Class and let the chips fall where they may. Depending what else is on the field you might be at a disadvantge but it's the fullest evaluation of the car. Or, as full as 15 minutes will allow.

Beautiful Jag. It'll be a well appreciated no matter what.

Cheers
