The silver lining is that the extra work led to the owner taking the decision to give this Triumph 2000 a full repaint in a colour the owner has always wanted. Bright yellow

The 1950 jaguar xk120 with its sweeping lines, split screen, rear wheel covers and two seats is about as classic as a classic car can be. Although now a 75 year old car these jaguars were built to last. So much so that the engine from this car remained in production from the 1940s right into the 1990s.

That remains to be seen by me and I won’t be testing the theory but one thing is for certain and that is that we finally have an e type in the kjclassics workshop.

Brought as a rolling project in 2019 this car proved to be an extremely fun and fast hot hatch for the few months I used it while making some much needed repairs to my ford capri.

Still going strong but definitely seen better days. First job is a compression test to make sure the engine is as strong as I th
