Greetings.

Does anyone have a reliable and "affordable" source for XK120:

(1) Modernized Aluminum radiator

(2) 16" x 5" Radial tires (4)

I have a 1953 XK120 OTC.

Thanks in advance,

Bob Sheridan

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).

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.
