Hi everyone,

My name is Mark Leonard, and I’m pleased to introduce myself as a new member here on the British Car Forum. I’m the owner of Grand Prix Classics, based in La Jolla, California. We specialize in classic automobiles and collector sports and race cars, and I’ve had the privilege of working around some truly special cars over the years, but beyond business, I’m a hands-on enthusiast.

There’s nothing like being behind the wheel, whether it’s vintage racing, track events, or just properly exercising a car the way it was meant to be driven. For me, these cars aren’t just investments or showroom pieces, they’re meant to move, make noise, and tell stories on track and on the road.

Looking forward to connecting with everyone here, talking racing, restoration, originality, history, and everything in between. Glad to be part of the community.
 
@AngliaGT Nice to meet you. I have a 1950 Jaguar XK120 Roadster, chassis 670555. I’m currently trying to further document its ownership history, but I’m looking to fill in any earlier gaps or connect with anyone who may have knowledge of the car.
 
Hi fellow British car enthusiasts. I ended up with a 1968 (?) MGB in High School by pure chance. I won an Apple II computer in a raffle and traded it for the car to the father of a friend. It was a Damask Red B with a black hard top. I never got the clutch to work despite working on the master and slave cylinders and even pulling the engine to replace the clutch plate. So it was "unfinished business" for me. I recently bought a 1972 B in teal with an autumn leaf colored interior. I'm in the process of replacing the floor pans, carpeting, and interior panels. I'm greatly anticipating drier weather here in the Pacific Northwest... I plan on driving the B whenever it isn't raining.

Welcome to the forum ! I had a 54 XK120 FHC back in my college days. I bought it as a basket case and restored it while I was going through Engineering school (maybe I'd have done better in school if I wasn't doing a Jag restoration LOL)
