Doesn't seem to be listed in www.xkdata.org, which is trying to build up a full listing of all the XKs left.

.........




I think I'd seek out some chrome wire wheels though......(keeping the origionals safe of course)

When I was an apprentice, (centuries ago) I used to work with someone who had bought a XK150 (old, even then).......WOW!

Mind you he would wouldn't he, his dad owned a pub!.............

I quite like the 140s with the steel wheels so they can wear their spats.

I've got a XK150 BTW, but my dad doesn't own a pub, so it's not mandatory.
Mine has body coloured wires.

I'd agree with the wire wheel comments. It would just finish it off rather nicely.
