XK120 recreation
Haven't seen one of these before.
[cgi.ebay.co.uk] Leaving aside the clumsy tires, it quite looks the part, although some of the detailing could be better and who on earth fitted that speedo.... Doesn't look as if it's been driven much if at all - 14,000 on dry roads I guess. Seems surprisingly little interest in buying it, however, That dealer has some lovely cars. Ivor Edited 1 time(s).

Re: XK120 recreation
"Seems surprisingly little interest..." - but of course people who bid early don't matter. Most serious bidders wait until the final hours. The photographer has skill, but the copywriter is clueless. The car? Did they say when it was built? Or who built it? The body is obviously fiberglass, but I didn't see anything about that in the description. "Build to XK120 Standards"? What does that mean to you? All I can tell is the paint looks nice in photos. Selling the sizzle is one thing, but I don't see why they don't describe the bacon too.

Re: XK120 recreation
Early bidders... very true, but this is the car's second time around, and oddly they've chosen to pitch the start price at the point where the previous effort stalled.
We'll see. Sizzle, bacon, lol. Ivor |
