Ok Steve I am doing what you suggest ... but with a 140 !
But there is a little difference:
I have some work on the car before spending some euros in fuel ...

On a serious note, I know some members on here have, or are involved with, XK's, so why not have an XK section on the forum? Obviously, many things about the E type engine refer to the Xk as well, so all relevant

Hi Malcom that's a very smart idea....As Steve suggest we could have a discussion apart on the forum...?
We could tell that : other XK ?
In the file "your dream garage" ?

Hi Steve,
I've only just seen this. The car looks very nice indeed, congratulations. I've always fancied the idea of an early XK.
I look forward to more pics of the car.

Now that’s just taking the p155, AND you’ve got a 928!!
I’d be too excited to sleep if I had all those in the garage!

Is this becoming a diversity thread for those who aren’t really sure where their “interests” lie

Congratulations on getting the XK150 - looks like a really nice car.
However to be the main dissenter, the XKs in hard top form are not the prettiest of cars - the roadsters (full convertibles) look really great, the Drop Heads not so much - but I accept that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and as long as it is a vehicle you want that is great.
When I was looking a for a car many years ago I looked at a nice XK150s 3.8 roadster but decided to get my E-type but I still wonder if I should have got the XK 150.
You have a nice car - so get out and enjoy it.

Coincidentally, I had one drop in on me last week.
I was also offered one this afternoon that has been off the road since 1967!
Its true, but Enzo never said it
