Good morning. Thanks again for the continued bids. I don’t see a date code on the tires, but they are soft- no cracks, with 85% tread. No vibration at higher speeds.
Are there date codes on the tires?

Good afternoon. The current 3.4 litre engine was sourced from a 53 Xk120 roadster that was past the point of restoration. Engine was pulled, fully rebuilt and installed in my Coupe. Period and year correct.
i know its not original engine, so where is it coming from? What year it is?

Good afternoon. Thanks for the recent bids. @Rudolf. When I was driving the my car up and down the hill, I topped of at 60 mph. With a police station on the route- I didn’t want to push the speed.
at what speed someone was going on this video?
