I hope it stops faster than it accelerates - 0-60mph in 14 seconds, despite the V8.Berny wrote:I my stock of spare parts I think I have rear brake shoes for that!

Re: Not a Porsche but a lovely project
I think some had a Cadillac OHV motor that might have been faster. Otherwise they were Ford V8 Pilot underpinnings with Sidney Allard mods including IFS.
Not surprisingly the XK120 caused quite a stir when it appeared.

Josh Sadler made a good job of racing Allards in recent years, but not a saloon.
Very '50's' so a bit Marmite.
IMHO the Pilot was a nicer car!

Re: Not a Porsche but a lovely project
I agree on the Pilot, they were wonderful old cars and I’d have loved on. I was living in Hitchin in the sixties where there was an absolutely as new Pilot for sale for about £20 for ages. 12mpg was the problem. There are still some absolute beauties around now, they literally were built like tanks with almost the same suspension as a model T.
