Arrived from France





















Arrival day 1st May 2019
Very efficiently delivered from Port Launay, France by Norman of Britassist www.britassist.com

Not a great deal left, no doors, interior or any windows or brightwork. I didn’t mind at first because all I wanted was the running gear and identity to build an XKSS. Now I’ve decided to rebuild it as a racer again I need to start gathering parts. It actually rolled off the trailer and the handbrake worked (bit awkward sitting on the floor to steer though).

Not a lot left
 
Remarkably, it does run























 

Lots of potential!


 


Engine
