XK120 - Need Souce for New Radiator & Tires

Bill,
It's a 1951 XK120 Abbot..

Read about it at http://www.xk120abbott.com/chronology.html

Have a "cool" weekend,

Bob

No but it could be a mock up during initial development. The full side view shows the clear connection between this and the Mk iv. The car will not be ready next week, I will call you.

Another picture...

Here's another view...

Hi Bill,
I can check it out when my XJ6 is ready hopefully sometime next week?

XK's sells 185HR16 Vreestein radials (made in Holland) for $256/ea plus $26.95 per tube. Have you heard of Vreestein tires and is that a good price? I need new tires for my 120 before I get on the freeway.

Do you know the name of this Jag? (see picture).

Bob

Hello Bob I was going to call but may as well use this post. I have a 120 in with an aluminium rad and if you have time come over to discuss the 6 and look at it.

Thanks Howard,

Regarding the radiator from Welsh: Does the top tank replecate the XK120 or is it built with sharp corners.

Regarding to being national champion. Wow. Can I still compete is I have a non-stock radiator and radial tires in the car?

I was thinking of changing the radiator and tires fro "driving" then for show, put back my original radiator and Dunlops.

Thanks for your input.

Bob

Bob,
I had National Champion XK120 in JCNA Class CO2 in 2000 and 2001.

Radiator: Welsh Enterprises, talk to Boone, he will give you the best price. Tell him I said he should!

Tires : Coker Tire in Tennessee, no particular contact.
