I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

Anyone know anything about this old thing? According to the DVLA it’s still got the 2625cc motor but neither of mine would do that :lol:

After a few years the Small block GM engine was replaced with a period 1960’s design 385 series Ford ‘Lima’ engine rebuilt to my own spec, fitment of which needed several engineering solutions to be attended to as the physical external dimensions of the engine block were considerably larger than the previous GM unit.

This green XK120, MDU 524 appeared for a high speed test run on the Ostend-Jabbeke motorway in Belgium during April 1953.
The car Chassis No 660986 was equipped with a full length undertray, the hood and sidescreens were removed, the windscreen was
replaced with a bubble top and a rigid tonneau was fitted over the passenger side of the cockpit.
At the wheel was Norman Dewis who achieved 141mph.
