This XK150 I was 100% involved with the restoration of including assembly, blocking, and the finish work on the paint. It was done 10 years ago and has a two page list of major awards. It took best of class in the premier class(all the winners of last year). It was refreshed a few years ago and will be comming back for a full detail soon.

Thanks and Happy Birthday. I'm still amazed how many great cars are in and come to Ohio for these events. People come from all over the US for this one. Not all the vehicles were there for most of our pictures. There ended up being over 250.

Thank you! We drove the Jag to and from the show. It drives great sounds better. This is a hard show it is all peoples choice and the majority are people who brought a vehicle. I think it is more critically judged because you already are inclined to like your vehicle better than the next guys.
 
nice work & pics john. my fathers first car was a gren MGB. looks like alot of fun at that event, being surrounded by all those cool cars! keep up the hard work sir!

They are all gorgeous but the Tigers are the ones I'd most like to own & drive.

I had never driven one till this one. They are great. In the future I want an Alpine (same car just 4cyl) the plan is to put a aluminum block SVT in it with 4 piston brembo's all around. The block should weigh in around the same but much more power for a cheaper price. That's unless I can afford the 500 RWHP 72 Pantera I've posted.
 
This reminds of when I used to work on some Austin Americans that the company had picked up for resale.
