Nice picture Ed. Love the racing stripe on the XK-140.

This morning I got the car running with a quick 4 carb balance adjustment so I could juggle it around and get all of the cars safe in the shop. 2 of my Corvettes over and under, 2 of her jags over and under, and the 61 fuelie in the middle. The building is Miami Dade rated to 150 mph so hopefully everything will be safe.

Here is the refreshed MC below. The original date coded Lockheed MC metal tag part# strap too. If you want to see some more before/after pics, look here....BEFORE AFTER Not in sequential order, from 25 years ago to 2001+. It dropped a valve seat one day when it overheated in 1998, and one thing led to another. Just like on Corvettes when you start taking them apart.

On our road tours for the local car club we take every year (usually 40-60 cars), we always have an "equipment" van along with various parts and kitty litter for the British cars. The hotels we stay at now require the kitty litter for the group's British cars in their parking lots, and we always make the British cars ride drag in the group so the other cars won't get hit by parts that fall off during the tour.........
