JWK 651, we made
serious repairs to the body shell
it is one of the most famous XK 120's. |
Dealing with a car with
such heritage as JWK;We went over the car
with a fine tooth comb correcting and updating the car. We
fitted new lights, corrected the bumpers and bonnet fit. We
made sure the lines flowed correctly and all gaps were as
the original fit. The car was given the once over
mechanically and made to run as it once did.

|
The front end all done, the rear end
taking
shape awaiting the tonneaus and boot lid |
New wood frame built for the rear of
the car &
new louvered side wing in place |
|
|
Shutfaces and hinge face panels replaced.
The wood stained for protection
|
The front wings and fairing panel needed
most serious
work, we can see here how distorted the front
end was |
|
|
We can see here how damaged
the rear end
really was, the wood almost rotted away |
JWK, nearly
stripped ready for the restoration to begin.

This
is the LT Special
|
It was built for a customer
in Holland, top Jaguar man Ben Kolvenbach. In aluminium,
it's a real beauty.
Shorten doors, fully widened
sills, removed battery boxes, scalloping for bucket seats,
increasing cockpit by 2" to
enable 6' + people to be able to drive 120's more comfortably. Shorten
boot lid, with drop down spare wheel area. Centre cock
pit bar for more rigidity in body. Shorten bonnet. Air
intakes to front of car for carb air box.
Air intakes to front of car for braking systems. Louvers to the side of
front wings & rear of rear wings. Louvered bonnet, battery box fitted underneath
wing as in 140 ots. Aero screens and cover plates for remaining holes.
4 point roll cage for racing. Bracing to rear of car for seat belts.
Twin monza caps one to feed extra tank. 2 head fairings.

Duncan Arthurs, front
left, receives his
Ali 120 bodyshell, as Ben Kolvenbach, at the rear,
prepares to take his on to the Mastrect show. Its
quicker and easier for the team to make 2 or 3 at a
time.
John went with the Kolvenbach team to the Mastrect show. It
was received really well. The public loved the
polished aluminium fitted with the chrome lights,
bumpers etc. |
