Doug,
I too have always loved these cars. My Dad almost bought an XK120 when I was a kid and i have always regretted that he changed his mind and bought a German car instead.
Years later, while stationed in England, I rode in and encountered classic Jags on the road and found that they did not hold a performance candle to my BMW 2002 Tii. I kinda lost interest when I figured out how slow they really are.
If time and money were available, a fun project might be to build a custom frame with modern suspension and drive train under a XK120 body. Then, you would have the best of both worlds!
