    Not in Kentucky it isn't. I lived there a few years ago, the cost of living there is quite low in comparison to other states. Beautiful state.

    The Dow dropped 800 points yesterday and there's talk that we're on the verge of a recession. Hopefully it's just a correction and our economy will continue to be very strong....

    Bleakness prevails. It seems to me that the German recession would hit you folks hard whether you are Brex-in or Brex-out.

    Are you an ACD club member? They also have a forum that is broken down by marque. They probably can help, as the 810/812 cars are a  tight knit group. Great car. Ed

  5. Very few original XKSS Jaguars ever come up for sale and when they do they are priced accordingly and the wonderful copies that were produced by Lynx also command high prices and are rarely available .

     

    The only other replica/continuation/copy or whatever they are called that I personally would consider purchasing is one of the cars produced by Tempero from New Zealand who produce handsome re-creations.

     

    Although its expensive at 265 K$  . It is the one to purchase if you want to own a replica at the very top end of the market.

  6. The market seems to be pretty buoyant here in the UK: if the price is right cars are selling as soon as they come on the market. In just the last few weeks I have missed out on six cars which tempted me - all sold within days of adverts first appearing!

    Yes you are correct. Just keep away from the small engined prewar odd ball over stressed cars and you will be ok.

    I have had three approaches in the last few months but unless I can find something with a large engine to replace am not selling

  7. If you havent already done so. Source and fit a prewar Alvis gearbox. Also look at opening out the outlet manifold with a decent exhaust sytem and fitting larger SU carbs after having the head gass flowed. It makes a huge difference. You also can go for a steel crank and rods and then probably have a cowl fitted to vent the front brakes. We campaigned one for years and had a lot of fun and it couldnt half go.
