1/12 Bentley Blower build /w mods

[Jagawar]

Traditional coachbuilding techniques I think Paul. Morgan’s, and first production run XK 120s have ash framed bodies as well.

Jaguar XK always had a Steel floors and all-steel bodies. They stopped using Ash frames with the MK4 in 48 , Morgans continues using ash as well as MG

I once restored a race prepped 120 to "streetable" condition and it had a wood floor when I got it. I guess for easy access to shifter & trans. I left it as is, just sealed & carpeted it as it fit perfectly.

I used to work with a guy who had a very early XK120 - number 41 I think - and it was coach-built with an ash frame and wooden floor.

I am mistaken (been a long time ) yes the 120 and the 140 had wood floors the 150 was all steel .

I get carried away. I still have to wrap the steering wheel awaiting on some sail tread to come. I made a mini fire extinguisher as well
