It is still in use for road and club races.

OIL PUMP
"Yes the original pump has a poor output, on Highway don`t rev over 3500 pm.

"WOW Andreas, you went the whole nine yards on this engine, very nice work. I see 3 vent hoses dumping into a box by the frame. Is that being recycled into the engine or just dumped to the ground. Like your garage set-up, nice to have room for a lift."

Stefano Rota said… Dear friend,
ref. to the attached picture (taken from Urs Schmidt's new book): shown are the two types of XK120 OTS side windows: in the top the early type (used till mid '51), the differences are highlighted by the shadow frames.
I'm looking for someone that has "early type" side windows, and could send me a tracing on paper of the frame, to allow me to reproduce it correctly.
Could you perhaps give any help?
Thanks in advance, Stefano.
