Hey Charlesbahn, I had a 1956 Jaguar XK140 MC roadster (OTS) with "C" Type engine and OD. I got it when I was 15 and it took me two years to put it together. I put ~250k miles on it and it never failed me.
Well it almost did once, when the SU fuel pump points broke. Lucky I had a friend with me. I jumpered the points and taped the bare wires to my friend's fingers. He had to keep tapping his fingers together to keep fuel pressure up. We went ~65 miles that way. His fingers were burned black from the arcing.
