    I can vouch for that , Our alloy body XK120 has been declined 2 years in a row now. Not sure how a steel body can be accepted before an alloy body. Good job we have other cars to take :)

    We were also turned down twice, and with a car with Walt Hansgen race history.

    But then we found out how. Happy to have you join us next year if we know early enough.

    Wow I can't believe I missed this thread. I may have missed it, but what are those blue and white prototype race cars? There's a shot showing the back of one and it looks almost like an open wheel design given the side pods and rear wheels that are almost exposed with a center post rear wing (this shot https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/145658438/ ).

    Beautiful Cars and cool thread. Just purchased a 1952 XK for full restoration. Hoping for under 5 year project.

    Wow, I'm 6 foot , I love it but needed the peddles cut down for driving with a spare set.
    I took out the door knob for the side flaps as well when driving.
    Great drive!
    Mine will be on the complete show circuit for the next 3 years.....different cat!
    Amelia, Pebble, Goodwood and the rest.
    Enjoy

    great pics !
    so much fun.
    i did the mille tribute a couple years ago with my dad in a CS.
    doing it in the xk120 must have been a lot more difficult.
    congrats
