Now I understand why your avatar is crying. How long did you have it?

Only a couple of years, but I replaced it with a 67 EType roadster, so it wasn't all bad. By the way, I only made this post to test my screen recording software.

Basil, any idea where it is now?

No idea. I had traded it for an EType and the guy I traded it to sold it to a fellow here in Albuqueruqe. I left Albuquerque and didn't return for over ten years. I had heard that the fellow who owned it when I left died and his estate donated it to a Catholic Convent who in turn auctioned it off to raise money. Where it is today I have no idea, but I would love to see it again. I had done a complete restoration on the car, which was a basket case when I got it. (Picture attached)

That's not a true basket case. The motor is still in it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
hehehe. Definatly a different paint scheme. I don't think I've ever seen a two tone XK120 FHC

Actually that picture was taked AFTEr I had put much of the motor back together. When I first got it, a lot of the motor was in the trunk (Carbs, manifold, headers, came covers, etc...)
Here's a picture (attached) of what the interior looked like.
