    Randy, suggest reaching out to fellow RUclipsr Richard Michael Owen. He and his dad operate a restoration shop in Vancouver, B.C. area. Between the two of them, there's not much they don't know about XK 120's. They might have some parts you need, or can steer you where to find them. Good luck!

      I second the recommendation for Richard Owen. He knows his stuff.

    Seems like all I've ever seen of these Jag's has been convertibles but the lines of the hardtop are absolutely gorgeous!
    I am so looking forward to seeing this beauty cruising down the road.

    I do have an original fuel lid as well as the window regulator.
    For your front window, it is flat glass, that you get any glass business to cut by using the other window (mirror turned). The front head lamps with sealed beam are not correct. Get the original, it totally changes the look of the car.

      Email me at bugnbox@earthlink.net and we can hopefully make a deal.
      The headlights for this car are correct actually as it was delivered to the US when new and all cars required sealed beam lights. I agree though , the European lights look far better!

    Maybe a second visit to where the car was stored and look more thoroughly? Any other buildings at that site?
    Happy hunting I hope!

    Try Kip motors in Dallas TX ,also maybe you can go back to the place where you bought the jag and dig some more !

    Love the looks of that car! Too bad you can't fabricate those parts you want until you find originals like ColdWarWarriors Scott does.

    Get in touch with Tom Cotter. I know he is looking for that car. I also want to buy it but Tom has wanted one for many, many years. If nothing else, he can probably lead you to parts. I know he has had leads on them before.

      I have yet to have seen anything come from his garage that I agree with. Props to him for creativity and making it all happen and such, but design wise I just don't dig it.

    I watch several good fabricators on RUclips. Fitzee and Japhands in Canada can make most anything out of metal.

    Randy this is a Jag.....you need to start with separating yourself from your wallet. Then it will get easier

      Compared to the Mercedes parts price tags I’ve been paying on the 1940…this ain’t nothin!
