Looked like a nice car. I hope the new owner enjoys it.

Do you have the data card? Mercedes may be able to cut one for you. They no longer sell ignition barrels for this model, but I think they can still cut keys if you have the key code. if you don't, they will charge you a highway robbery fee to access the data card.

I had a look in some of my Jag books. They are called GKN Kent wheels and they were available on the higher end Jags during the early XJS and Series II XJ. Here is an XJ12C that I photographed in the Jaguar heritage collection for example.

Progress on the floors, have ground down the surface rust and treated with rust paint. Will cover with the 906 grey blue once properly dried. While I had the front seat out, got the rear seat bottom out to clean it properly.

Sounds interesting. Much better a M119 than yet another LS swap.

You can do it as a one man job fairly easily. I've done it on two 126's this way. i used quite a thick adhesive to make this possible: Coupe: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2019/05/w126-bonnet-insulation/ Saloon: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2019/08/w126-sedan-bonnet-insulation/

Looks really good.

That's a big improvement. really like the wheels. You mentioned their not final - what is your eventual wheel combo on this car? Just noticed your engine has the trimmer plug from the high comp engine so you can probably advance the timing a bit and get more performance out of it. With...
