Aloha,
After kicking my MG and Triumph motorcycle habit 25 years ago it looks like I have re-acquired the English disease.
A friend recently asked me to help him get his 1953 XK 120 back on the road.
This car was restored (repainted only?) in the late '90's, driven to the owner's garage and left to sit.
Right now I'm in the research phase and have lots to learn.
You will be hearing from me.
I'll post some pics after I get them hosted.
One quick question, am I going to wish I hadn't sold all my Whitworth tools?
