Pleasingly uncluttered by bonnet strap, extra lights and mirrors, etc. Paint job looks fabulous.

However, the seats have been upholstered by someone who never looked at another XK.

As for the assertion that "only very few early cars" had alloy doors, bonnet and boot lid, this is a nonsense, as ALL non-alloy XK120 roadsters were to this spec. It is presumably an attempt to jump on the alloy roadster bandwagon. Naughty!
