I like your thinking, Rich_P.  This came up from a Google Images search on XK120:

Rich beat me to it,
I couldn't have a go earlier as there's been 'connectivity problems'/exchange problems for various WF postcodes & a couple of the BD codes (Bradford). so we've been off-line since I tried it about 03:30

Which hacked off SWMBO, as she had her expenses & mileage to send in.
So now I've got to take it into the centre of Leeds (behind railway station) in the last few shopping days before ch**stmas :twisted:  :twisted:
It'll be chaos

(she's safely on her way to Liverpool at the moment for 4 nights)

Ah, and that would have been my guess too :roll:

No mistaking the Jag XK engine, it's a beaut.
