Re: 1970 V6 FS in Eastern Canada

2012-01-10 by MarkD

Hello all,
I can shed some light on this car as I have seen it in person. The car has lived most of its life on Prince Edward Island. The present owner bought a year or so back and has now found an old XK120 to buy, which is his first love as he is doing a frame off on an XK140 at present. If anyone wants we took about 75 pictures of the 70 metal frame and I would be happy to share them. It is in very good condition from top to bottom. As to the dark blue one that was in Ga, it was also purchased and transported to this same person in Cole Harbour,NS.
In late October I made a trip to Cole Harbour and bought the dark blue one and it is now in Iowa. It is going thru a complete restoration at present. Completely stripped apart and a shell now.
Mark
