Thought id come back with maybe abit more moaning :)
Havent been on here for a while, but thought id show you all what im 'pikey' racing on sunday.
Im pretty sure alot of you are gonna think its sacralige (sp?) and jsut down right wrong, but before you say its a waste etc ill briefly explain what works gone into it, doors,bonnet and boot have all been made by me and a few mates, engine had lots missing which ive had to source, the wire wheel hubs have had to be machined down to take normal studded wheels, rear brakes removed as wheels rubbed calipers, roof welded back on, there was no interior when we got it. Alot of work and i mean alot of work has gone into it too get it just to 'raceable' condition, it really wasnt financially viable in our opinion to get it road worthy again. I present my pride and joy, a 1957 Jaguar xk150, 3.8, twin carb manual lump. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...00000152413172 Opinions good or bad welcome as one thats one of the reasons ive put it on here and 2 i dont think i can have much worse abuse put towads me than i already have from a few people i no :cry::) |

Rated piece of tin! Well done on all the hard work getting it out on track rather than letting some "enthusiast" leave it to rot to nothing on their drive on the pretence that "I'll restore it one day....."
I've seen some of the video from Sunday and hats off to you taking out a relatively small car compared to some of the Jags out on track. Hope you had fun racing it :thumbsup: |
duh

Plenty of abuse on pistonheads. It seems a bit of a shame to destroy such a classic, but it must have been in a sorry state even before you got hold of it. some interesting comments on the price of the logbook as well. |
Still can't see them, so I've sent a friend request. I'll put them on photobucket for everyone else (assuming friend request is accepted!)

cheers col, not too sure what was up with fb even after i changed the settings

it looks like it was restorable :(
|
to a certain point mate, yes it was resorable, but the way i see it, is that even though it was a waste (and i think that i was driving) all the parts were selling/sold off it are keeping another going
|
Still, once it is smashed it is gone, innit, whilst it was straight, someone would of bought it and restored it.
